And we’re live…
Thanks to Jason Bobe et al, the PGP website is now up and running. Yay! As congenial as George’s previous DIY version of the site was, I think PGP 2.0 and its easy navigation will answer almost any question one might have about the project, its mission, goals, philosophy, how and why one might participate etc.
And not only is the content put together in a clear and intuitive way, but I think it looks great, too…okay, well, with the possible exception of a certain dork’s kelly green shirt….No doubt my Y chromosome will reveal a congenital lack of fashion sense…
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."

Who knew you were so short, amigo?
While I’m utterly off the topic, may I ask when you’re going to mull over the personal genomics in Jeffrey Eugenides’s MIDDLESEX?
