Gene Commons Weekly Digest 3 | Featuring Low YouTube Views

[Gene Commons]

Hi there,

Happy Independence Day. 

It’s Friday again, and you know what that means. Another week of me uploading genetics content into the digital abyss, wondering if the internet even knows I exist.

This time, though, I’m bringing you two very different stories: one is science-heavy, with a side note to please watch this before my mom becomes my only viewer, and the other is a real-life medical drama that proves small acts can trigger big changes.

Let’s get into it:

1. Galactosemia: Diagnosis, Management, and the Genetic Basis
https://genecommons.com/galactosemia-diagnosis-management-and-genetic-basis/

This is the video version, which currently has fewer views than my last WhatsApp status. If you’ve ever wondered how galactosemia works, why newborn screening matters, or what happens if you ignore lactose intolerance’s evil cousin, this is for you.

Watch now and help me beat the YouTube “suggested for no one” algorithm.

2. A Leap of Faith and the Butterfly Effect

A chain of tiny decisions, a team that refused to give up, and a young patient who now has a future; this is one of those rare stories where medicine, teamwork, and generosity collide in the best way possible.

Also, in case you missed it: Gene Commons is on LinkedIn.
It currently has three followers. Yes, it’s me, my friend, and some random LinkedIn user..

If you enjoy what we’re building or at least admire my persistence, share this with a friend, your college WhatsApp group, or that one person who can’t stop bringing up Mendelian ratios at parties.

Until next week,
