As if one event on genetics wasn't enough fun for you, the American Museum of Natural History is hosting a special panel presentation, "Transforming Medicine Through Comparative Genomics", held Monday, October 28th from 6:30-8pm. Speakers include a population geneticist, genomic medicine researcher (Columbia), evolutionary biologist and museum curator, and neurogeneticist (Columbia), with a science journalist from the New York Times acting as moderator. The panel will discuss human and wildlife genomes, evolutionary adaptation of disease resistance and adaption, and the latest technologies being employed to study these questions. Although admission isn't free, students receive a discounted price of $13.50. You can buy tickets at the official event website below.
