Episode 2: Wondering Wednesdays: Ask the Genetic Counselor (February 22, 2023)

Genetics can feel like they’re written in a foreign language but you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Genetic Counselor and Mito Advocate, Devin Shuman, will host these sessions to answer questions and help make genetics feel more accessible to everyone. “Wondering Wednesdays: Ask the Genetic Counselor” will take place every 4th Wednesday of the month.
