SGO News via Twitter - March 19-20

Since I was unable to go to San Diego for this year's annual  SGO ( Society of Gynecologic Oncologists) meeting, I've been following the meeting's hashtag #sgomtg on Twitter instead.
Here are the tweets I favorited for the March 19-20th.

SNP = single-nucleotide polymorphism ("most common sequence variation in the human genome is the stable substitution of a single base" (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2410167/)

I appreciate the ability to have interactions with the gyn oncs and other advocates attending the meeting.

Check back on Wednesday for the tweets I found most interesting for the last two days of the meeting.
