Rapid advances in human genetics/genomics research and genomic medicine are increasingly relevant to everyday life. Scientific advances have been paralleled by innovations in science education and public engagement. ASHG and NHGRI co-sponsor the Genetics Education and Engagement Fellowship to support early-career genetics professionals who wish to transition to careers in genetics education and public engagement.
At the 2019 American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting, former fellow Dyanna Christopher, M.P.H. talks about her work and how the fellowship helped her advance her career goals.
