Unveiling Our Network’s New Identity Featuring a leaf for agri-food and sustainability. Green represents balance and environmental resilience. Featuring a lightbulb with filaments for knowledge and collaboration. Purple represents diversity and innovation. Featuring an ascending graph for data and growth. Blue represents trust, stability, and science-based solutions.

We’re excited to reveal the official branding of CS-DCC and AG-ACt, together forming the Climate-Smart Agri-Food Network. Funded by @genomecanada.ca, the Network’s new visual identity clearly reflects our shared mission in agricultural genomics, action, and climate-smart data.

Un placer participar en este congreso, representar a @genomecanada.ca y hablar sobre #LatinOMICS y #GlobalGene

Honoured to represent @genomecanada.ca 🇨🇦 and moderate a #LatinOMICS panel at the Spanish Congress on Genomic Medicine in Madrid. Grateful to @corp4s.bsky.social and the Scientific Committee for the invitation!

Sad to hear that Dr. Henry Friesen, who had a transformative influence on health research in Canada, has died at age 90. He discovered the hormone prolactin and founded the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, among his many accomplishments. www.cdnmedhall.ca/laureates/he...

Happy #DNADay 🧬🧬🧬

I also find it very challenging to mention cancer care appointments at business meetings… even if i have been extremely open and vocal about my journey

Super proud to be part of this paper on how we're uniting cancer research, care communities & patient voices in Canada to accelerate precision oncology!

🍁 Improving early detection for people with cancer predisposition syndromes 🍁

Thanks to Network funding, researchers in ON, BC and NL are working together to create a blood test that can catch cancers in high-risk patients earlier—when treatment is more effective and outcomes are better.

All of this. ⤵️ Dr. @clopezcorrea.bsky.social nails it. 💥 I'm often asked if I'm in remission, mostly by well-intentioned people who don't want to hear that I'm sick & expect me to boomerang "back to normal". On the state of my cancer treatment I say, "I still take oral chemotherapy every morning".

Two years ago today, I was diagnosed with #breastcancer.

🌸To those who’ve walked this path, who are still in it, or who may one day face it—I see you.

✨I’m sharing my story to build understanding, spark empathy, and offer a little hope.

Eric Green is out as head of National Human Genome Research Institute The longtime director of the National Human Genome Research Institute is stepping down, as the larger NIH braces for more changes.

This is extremely sad not just for #NHGRI #NIH, the US, but for the world!
Eric has been an amazing champion for the power of #genomics and the #global impact of genomic medicine.
