From healthcare and biotechnology to forests and fisheries, the evolving study of genomics is leading to some
of the most exciting and world-changing discoveries in science and medicine. Like did you know that your individual genomic signature can help determine the healthcare treatment you receive? Or that mapping the genomes of trees can inform forest management?But while the study of genomics holds great promise for the health of people, animals, and the environment, it also confronts us with big questions: How do we study genetic patterns in a way that respects sensitive genetic information, history, and equity? How do we use the power of genomic research to fight climate change? Save the salmon?Join Dr. Kaylee Byers a self-described 'rat detective' and science communicator as she guides you through fascinating conversations about the what, the why, and the how of genomics.
