This week we take you on a genetics road trip to find disease cures and our GPS is the African genome! Then we will talk about National Research Initiative, All of Us, that is asking for 1 million samples from underrepresented communities like ours to better understand health outcomes for future generations to come. Then we travel 100 years into the future and imagine what science might look like then. And as promised at the top of the episode we have a quick update on Dat Rona, this week we are spending some time discussing how our incarcerated fam is faring during this pandemic and some steps that can be taken to care for them at this time. Huge thanks to our family at Stateville correction center and their instructor who has been incorporating our show into her class, we are so grateful to see this show have such reach and are keeping you in our thoughts during this difficult time.
