UW MSTP associate director Mary-Claire King recently participated in the first Nobel Week Dialogue, which takes place the week before Nobel prizes are awarded. This year’s topic was “The Genetic Revolution and its Impact on Society” – an attempt to understand how to share scientific breakthroughs in genetics with society at large. Dr. King contributed to two panel discussions. You can watch one of them on Youtube: Genetics and Nurture: Understanding the Interactions Between Genetics and the Environment. It starts at the 1:12 mark. There is also a summary of the event in Bloomberg.
