The Age-Based Genomic Screening Team was glad to have the chance to table among so many amazing community organizations and HBCUs at this event on Feb 17th! We had the chance to talk to a handful of the hundreds of attendees about the purpose of our project and out current goal of hearing from community members to understand the best way to create educational resources about genetics/genetic screening. In addition, we appreciated all the input that we got on some of the activities we were doing, our comic book, and simple have the chance to talk to more people in the Triangle.
For more information about the event please see the message below from the organizers, the Emily K Center and 100 Black Men of Triangle East:
