DNA Dialogues: Conversations in Genetic Counseling Research

Play Episode Listen Later May 29, 2025 52:10


In this episode we are exploring two publications related to cancer care. In our first segment we talk to 2 authors about their research on genetic counselors and identification of patients for high-risk pancreatic cancer screening. In our second segment, Khalida interviews a genetic counselor about their study to evaluate surgical patient perspectives of genetic testing provided by a non-genetics professional.  Segment 1: “Practices and perspectives of genetic counselors about high-risk pancreatic cancer screening: A cross-sectional survey study” Amy Wiegand is a board-certified genetic counselor who specializes in cancer genetics. She graduated with her Master's in Genetic Counseling in 2017 from from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and has worked as a cancer genetic counselor at the Smilow Cancer Genetics and Prevention Program at Yale-New Haven Health since 2017 where she has seen over 2500 patients for a variety of hereditary cancer indications. Her research interests include hereditary pancreatic cancer and alternative delivery care models for genetic testing. Aparna is a senior genetic counseling assistant (GCA) at Smilow Cancer Genetics and Prevention Program at Yale New Haven Health where she has worked since 2019, and she has over 6 years of experience as a GCA. She holds a Master's degree in Biomedical Genetics and a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology. She also has a varied background in administration, finance and customer service. She is a high-performing individual and was recently recognized by her colleagues as ‘Employee of the Quarter' and honored by the organization as ‘Smilow Star' for consistently going above and beyond for the patients and the co-workers and for exemplifying the health system's values. She contributes to the program in a variety of other ways outside of her role and works collaboratively with the team to create a patient centered environment. She has a strong interest in Cancer Genetics and is passionate about research. She is currently working on another research project, the abstract of which was selected for presentation in a Poster Session at 2025 ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) annual meeting. She enjoys being part of a collaborative and dynamic team at Smilow Cancer Genetics and Prevention program and is excited about the upcoming research initiatives in the program. In this segment we discuss: - The significance of pancreatic cancer surveillance for high-risk individuals and why early detection plays a critical role in improving outcomes. - How genetic counselors are uniquely positioned to identify and refer individuals at high risk for pancreatic cancer, emphasizing their role in screening efforts. - An overview of the 2019 CAPS (Cancer of the Pancreas Screening) consensus guidelines and how they are applied to identify high-risk individuals for surveillance - The finding that nearly 70% of genetic counselors accurately identified individuals eligible for screening and discussed the factors that may have contributed to this high rate. - The association between provider comfort level and accuracy in identifying high-risk individuals, and discussed strategies to improve provider confidence and access to screening programs.   Segment 2: “Patient experiences of cancer genetic testing by non-genetics providers in the surgical setting” Katie Fiallos is a board-certified genetic counselor who earned her Master of Science in Genetic Counseling from the Johns Hopkins University/National Human Genome Research Institute Genetic Counseling Training program in 2017 and worked for seven years as a cancer genetic counselor at Johns Hopkins. She joined the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics at Indiana University in August 2024. She is fluent in Spanish and provides genetic counseling in English and Spanish to participants with Parkinson's disease enrolled in the PD GENEration study. She has authored several academic papers related to genetic counseling, and her current research interests include provision of genetic counseling to Latine individuals, alternate service delivery models, and patient experiences with genetic testing and their informational desires. She lives in Michigan with her family and enjoys staying active, particularly practicing aerial silks. The research for the paper we're discussing was done while she was at Johns Hopkins and was funded by the Jennifer L. Brager Memorial Research award through the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.   In this segment we discuss: - Why hereditary cancer genetic testing is becoming increasingly important for patients with breast cancer, especially in relation to surgical decision-making. - The findings that patients preferred genetic testing at an existing appointment shortly after diagnosis, and explored how this timing affects their overall experience. - How many patients had already considered or wanted genetic testing before it was offered, shedding light on patient awareness and readiness. - Why patients were primarily motivated by concern for relatives and a desire for complete information, rather than surgical decision-making. - Gaps in patient-provider communication identified in the study and suggested ways for providers to address these issues in clinical practice.   Would you like to nominate a JoGC article to be featured in the show?

We're back! For our newest episode Pete and Dan are joined by Aparna Verna, the author of the breakout fantasy novel The Phoenix King, published by Orbit. Originally Aparna was invited onto the show to talk about Neil Gaiman's 1996 hit novel and TV show Neverwhere, but in light of the recent allegations against Gaiman, we've decided not to release that episode, though we may do so in the future as events play out.In this interview we talk to Aparna about how the Phoenix King came to be, about its evolution, its fusion of western fantasy structures and Indian mythological frameworks, and it crosses romance, adventure and fantasy to create a new angle on centuries-old storytelling conventions. We talk about Aparna's excellent social media game, one of the contributing factors to her book's success, and her successful leveraging of crowdfunding to self-publish the original novel on which The Phoenix King is based. Aparna Verma was born in Rajasthan, India, and grew up in the United States. She graduated from Stanford University with Honors in the Arts and a B.A. in English. In 2021, she self-published The Boy with Fire, which quickly went viral on TikTok, and was later republished by Orbit Books as The Phoenix King in 2023.When she is not writing, Aparna likes to lift heavy (arm days are her favorite), dance to Bollywood music, and find cozy cafes to read myths from ancient worlds. You can connect with Aparna on TikTok at @aparnawrites, and Twitter and Instagram at @spirited_gal.

Both guests have worked at the intersection of human rights, and bring their voices of resistance to caste, racism, and all forms of bigotry and oppression. As father and daughter, they dedicate time to sharing their work with one another and engaging in conversations about their perspectives and approaches across a generational divide.  At a time when this country needs champions with both the experience, wisdom, and deep sensitivity around ways to engage people in generative and respectful dialogue. Aparna and Raju share their generational approaches to holding difficult conversations (differences/similarities), particularly in the wake of the even more deeply divided America that we are facing with the Trump re-presidency. This conversation brings the best of humanity to the table to expand and reimagine new possibilities for how we advance civil and human rights advocacy and environmental justice work.   Listen live or, after the show airs, visit the archives at kpfa.org/program/talk-it-out-radio or iTunes!

On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks to Aparna Agarwal, a student of sustainability management to talk about life as a student as well as culture within sustainability & sustainable fashion. KEY TAKEAWAYS I have a strong interest in storytelling, I'm especially interested in social media & how brands want to communicate their sustainability & social impact story to their audience. When something is ‘cool', you need to understand that it's going to stop being cool eventually, when it comes to sustainability & climate change, it's the exact opposite; we can't afford to have sustainability & climate change as things that are ‘cool'. It's something that we all need to work towards on a daily basis until we die. It shouldn't be a trend. It's great that young people are so passionate about it & posting about it on social media. My biggest fear is what happens when sustainability stops being cool, which might happen in the next 2-3 years. Will we then go back to hyper-capitalism & going back to fast fashion. Most people look at shopping as a way to de-stress, as a leisure activity, to chill, take a break from work & not think about serious things. If a brand is shouting at me for buying so much & giving me so much factual information about climate change, I'm not going to buy that product! It's important for a brand to make that communication cool, & working on climate change a nice & great thing to do. BEST MOMENTS ‘It's cool to think about the climate on a daily basis. That's something I really focus on by humanising the whole problem.' ‘Climate change isn't just a flood that might randomly destroy your house, it's thousands of people working with unethical brands & getting products made at less than $1 a day.' ‘I want to make sure that when brands are genuinely working towards sustainability or social impact, they shouldn't lose out on an audience because they can't communicate it in the right way.' ‘The communication has to be drastically different for an Eastern audience compared to a Western audience because the culture is so drastically different. You need to really understand the audience & what they want to hear.' ABOUT THE GUEST Aparna Agarwal is a a mission-driven Communications professional, helping brands deliver impact through meaningful storytelling. With global experience in Sustainability, Luxury and Fashion in my pocket, based in Delhi. LinkedIn ABOUT THE HOST Tze Ching started her entrepreneurial journey back in 2007 with the launch of a sustainable clothing & home furnishing ecommerce business. Next, she created a sustainable fashion brand. In 2019, she launched a social enterprise to help raise awareness about the negative impact of fashion at schools & colleges.  Through the 15-year journey, she learned so much, but easily the most meaningful lesson learned was about the importance of marketing. She now focuses on channelling those insights to help others succeed through We Disrupt Agency, a business coaching, mentoring & digital marketing company.  Tze Ching's mission is to create a community of global change makers and to contribute to positive change in both people & planet.

In this episode from another TED Audio Collective podcast, How to Be a Better Human, Aparna talks about the ways she's learned to deal with impostor syndrome: like creating a resume listing all her failures, or making up words at parties to gauge other people's reactions.
