Respect the DifferenceTM
Changemaker Toolkit
The study of genetics has given us a whole new understanding of ourselves and why we are who we are.
Did you know that 99% of human DNA is the same?
With so much in common genetically, how we respond to what makes each of us different is our individual choice. Let’s Respect The DifferenceTM.
At NOSM, we are coming together to create a culture of diversity, inclusion, respect, social accountability and wellness. Let’s work and learn in a culture of kindness and #RespectTheDifference.
