The Best Of Our Knowledge #1328

Genetics

Science has given us a way to have our individual genomes sequenced, opening up a vault of information about our genetic makeup and possibly our future health. But if information is generated…there will be people trying to get a hold of it.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, just how private are your genetic building blocks?

Next we’ll go from science to history and find out about a newly discovered letter that may shed light on the presidential election of 1876.

Then a visit to a high school class about LGBT issues in the Bay area…and we’ll spend an academic minute with transgender discrimination.
