Kathy Hudson’s Genetics and Public Policy Institute has really got something with this one: a conference to bring public attentiont to the real issues associated with commerce in human DNA, understood in a rich way with attention to the problems that anthropologists, including Sandra Soo-Jin Lee, one of my favorite rising scholars, have identified. The event is at the National Press Club, and you can register online.
