TalkWhat We’re Talking About This Week
Genes and Drug Abuse: Most studies have been in Western nations where there is larger access to and use of illicit drugs. Now there’s a study from Norway supporting genetic risk factors.
Genome, Identity and Images: Scientist and photographer Ariel Ruiz i Atalba’s new show, “Evolving Identities in the Genetic Age.”
The Microbiome: We’ve got genomics, epigenomics, proteomics and now…microbiomics! The microbiome is another good argument for why genetics isn’t destiny.
Men’s Biological Time Clock: Research shows that with age, the genetic quality of a man’s sperm decreases, i.e., men who wait until they’re older to have children may have more difficulty conceiving and they may also increase the risk of having children with genetic problems. (Of course, they still have longer than we women do….)
