Isaac Owusu had no idea what was in store when he decided to take a DNA test to bring his four sons to the US from Ghana. As I wrote last summer, immigrants are increasingly being asked by the US government to prove their family relationships using DNA. But Isaac, a new US citizen, had […]
Hello fellow genetics enthusiasts,
I’m on vacation this week and next. So, head on over to Sandwalk where you can get plenty of gene action with issue #4 of Gene Genie. Genetics and Health won’t be completely lifeless while I’m taking a breather but it will be a little quieter while I try to rejuvenate myself.

Earlier this week, the National Sleep Foundation reported that more than half of American women are suffering from sleep deprivation. These women are too tired to have a good work and personal life and are completely stressed out. (I’m sure many of us can identify!) And if they also happen to have the long version […]
If you’re ever the victim of crime, do what you can to get a sample of your assailant’s DNA whether it be grabbing a fistful of hair or scratching as 81-year-old Mona did when her purse was snatched.
The woman suffered serious injuries when her leg was run over by the assailant’s vehicle in the […]

Dr. Emily Devoto doesn’t mince words and that’s what makes The Antidote: Counterspin for Health Care and Health News such compelling reading. Opinionated people are my favorite! That is, unless she’s targeting genetics, of course.
1. On your About Me section, you write that you’re “exploring ways to promote, via the Internet, the use of evidence […]
In response to the series of genetics articles published in The Jewish Standard last week, I asked Lisa Lee of DNA Direct to share her thoughts specifically on the article about direct-to-consumer genetic testing by Dr. Miryam Wahrman.
DNA Direct offers medical tests and provides information about medical guidelines for appropriateness of testing. For example, ACOG […]
Ahead of the November 28th release, I got my Crichton novel, Next, yesterday. The new genetics thriller is leaving me feeling rather odd….

After my post yesterday, I hightailed it down to my local newsagent to pick up the 50th anniversary issue of New Scientist. Then I hunkered down at the restaurant next door for some breakfast and delicious science reading.
Oops. Did I put “delicious” in front of the wrong noun?
This issue is cool not least because […]
