I heard this on NPR morning and it inspired me. In this space from time to time I hope there will be something called Hybrid Vigor, that is, unlikely but somehow complementary collaborations that speak to the power of heterogeneity. First up is what caught my attention on the radio today, two giants who’ve left us within the past 15 months: the late great Luciano Pavarotti and the one and only Godfather, James Brown. Behold.

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."

That is inspiring. I hope someday that Misha and the Sherpa could do the same. I’ll be James…
