Jason links to Esther Dyson on the Charlie Rose show. He also links to other genetics-on-TV clips and muses on the frustrations and possibilities of video on the web.
Esther is one of my nine fellow subjects in the initial round of the Personal Genome Project. Watching her on Charlie Rose, I wonder if George Church didn’t accept me as a PGP volunteer in order to lower the mean IQ of the project…

I work as an Assistant Professor in the Duke University Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (although this site and its content are my own).
In 2007 I became the fourth subject in Harvard geneticist George Church's Personal Genome Project. As the PGP moves forward, I am chronicling the dawn of personal genomics, that is, people obtaining their genomic information for whatever reason(s) and figuring out what to do with it. I am interested in the relevant technologies and especially the attendant privacy and other ethical/legal/social issues.
This blog may also discuss some of my non-genome interests or, to paraphrase Dwight Yoakam, "Guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music, etc etc."
