Genes! We all have them, but how do we use that information to take care of ourselves, catch criminals, and learn about our dogs? We will expand on the basics of genetics and discuss specific tests like newborn screening, direct-to-consumer testing, and forensics. We will also cover recent topics such as gene therapies, ethics, and the COVID mRNA vaccine.

Moderators: Sarah Crawford and Rachel Doberstein are genetic counselors for the Division of Human Genetics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. They are skilled at making this complex and fascinating topic easy to understand.
