Genetic Data and Black Americans with Dr. Janina Jeff Ringo - Curiosity Weekly

Genetic testing has had some ups and downs over the past few years, with wide swaths of data sets setting a precedent for potential individualized healthcare. But, oftentimes, that data misrepresents African-descended individuals and doesn’t paint the whole picture. Population geneticist Dr. Janina Jeff Ringo joins host Dr. Samantha Yammine to discuss what we can learn from genetic testing, and the gaps that sociologists are trying to fill in.   Sam also explores a fascinating new study that claims to have nailed down the perfect cacio e pepe recipe and a potential solution to the growing strain on global rice yields.   Link to Show Notes <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PKGcpV7P5xefcSZUJuOMW5wYMo6jLPYcF1vYHsxmDyU/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a>  Follow Curiosity Weekly on your favorite podcast app to get smarter with<a href="https://twitter.com...
