Comment on Ask HN: How to be my own genetic disease researcher for my partner?

Comments

You can do this. Yes. I assure you.

I'm in a not too dissimilar position, although a better known one.

It wasn't clear to me until recently what an astounding amount of good scientific results exist out there that are accessible on a device that's probably in your hands right now.

It's also been a surprise how useful Twitter is. Find good scientists that have real responsibilities toward the truth, are doing sound research, and talking on twitter to try to get the dialogue going. This kind of person is a very very useful link to the extant knowledge. And there's A LOT of it.

Some subreddits are also surprisingly deep.

It's a question of separating the wheat from the chaff. But it's possible. It is possible. You can do this.
