Did you see??
The location for the #WCPG2025 meeting is announced on the back of the #WCPG2024 pocket guide… We are going to Cancun! 😎🥳
Dates: Oct 19-23 (straight after #ASHG25)

Attending the PGC general meeting - enormously proud of former PhD student Helena Davies who now chairs the outreach committee. #wcpg2024 - they request you fill out the outreach committee survey to inform what they do over the next year.

Ok fine! So I may have found a legit way to include a picture of this art (with appropriate credit of course) in my plenary talk for #WCPG24 #WCPG2024 (which one we using??)
If you’re around on Saturday morning, please come to admire how I have done so 😃

Excited to be in Singapore at #WCPG2024 - @jonicoleman.bsky.social is unable to come so it up to us to make sure we have an informative and fun BlueSky feed. I will be posting/skeeting as I attend things.
