We’ve talked a lot about genetic testing on this program over the past year or so. The amount of data that can come from the human genome seems to be growing by the day.

We'll also spend time outside a classroom, as a school fights what it calls Nature Deficit Syndrome. And we’ll spend an academic minute with garbled communications on social media.
