Dr. James Evans is so convinced of the beauty of DNA that he wears it as a fashion statement. He is often photographed sporting a necktie with the double helix peeking out from his white coat. Evans is a molecular biologist and physician at UNC-Chapel Hill and the editor in chief of the journal Genetics in Medicine. He demystifies the subject for students and cancer patients at UNC. And he advises policy makers and teaches judges who need to make practical decisions based on complex science. He joins host Frank Stasio for a conversation about what we know, what we don’t know and what we need to know about genetics.
This conversation was originally broadcast on July 20, 2009.
