Shortly after the Court issued today’s decision in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc., Court watchers and college students alike took to Twitter to react to the news. Here are a few of the top tweets we’ve seen:
The Supreme Court decision on Myriad makes sense. "Einstein did not get a patent on the laws of natures," says Larry Brody. #genomeexhibit

#Myriad posts statement on FB re: #SCOTUS ruling. Says "time to move on…focus on battle against #cancer." https://t.co/ALdi6Ejst9

"Biotech companies like Myriad have been unreasonably enriched," said Lori Andrews on SCOTUS DNA ruling. "There's no invention here."

Don't like: "cDNA not a product of nature… except very short DNA may… be indintinguishable from natural DNA." #Myriad #SCOTUS

Did J. Scalia concur just to say he doesn't understand the details of molecular biology? …props for honesty I guess? #Myriad

Although no #ShelbyCounty decision from #SCOTUS, the #Myriad ruling is huge. See you Monday, @SCOTUSblog
