Is it possible to embed gists into README.md file that resides in a GitHub repository?

Something like:

Some people will end up here due to the fact that they want to use auto-generated gists to make their profile on github more interesting with activity box, productive box, etc. (list of this stuff). However, you should note that these auto-generated gists should not be added to your profile dedicated README file but should be pinned using the "Customize your pins" option on your profile page.
