I launched a brand new science podcast network called Gene Pool Media, two weeks ago on DNA Day, April 25th. The response has been amazing, so thank you to everyone who has been supportive, especially the podcasts that have joined the network including…

Over the years we have shared episodes of DNA Dialogues, It Happened To Me and PhenoTips Speaker Series. And we had the hosts of #ThroughTheGenes and Demystifying Genetics on the show. And I’ve been a guest on RealPharma. So these are all podcasts that were already in our circle, it’s just more official now! 

If you have a science podcast and are interested in joining the network, go to GenePoolMedia.com and click the “Apply” tab at the top right. Or just email me directly at [email protected]. 

In this episode drop of Demystifying Genetics where I was actually a guest. This podcast is hosted by an Australian genetic counselor Dr. Matt Burgess. Matt interviews me about my journey as a high school starting this genetics podcast from my childhood bedroom to becoming a genetic counselor and now multi-award winning podcast. The conversation explores the nuances of genetic counseling, the impact of technology like CRISPR, and the unexpected connections that shape careers in genetics. Matt was also a guest way back in 2020 on Episode #114 on DNA Today when I was still a grad student.
