There's massive government initiatives going around the world, and you see that there's a real enthusiasm for genetics.

I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about genetic information and what you can and cannot learn. One of the things we try to do is educate individuals that knowing information is empowering.

Billions of dollars have been put into genetic research.

I'm fascinated with genetic science, and I have been for a very long time. I always look at science and technology because I think that the developments in my lifetime have been so remarkable - and we're only at the tip of the iceberg with projects like decoding the human genome.

I think the ethics and morals of genetic engineering are very complicated. It intrigues me.

I align myself with almost all researchers in assuming that anything we do is a composite of whatever genetic limitations were given to us by our parents and whatever kinds of environmental opportunities are available.

I fell in love with the elegance and precision of genetic analysis and experimentation to answer profound biological questions.

A solid foundation in genetics is increasingly important for everyone.

Just as computer technology and the Internet created whole new industries and extraordinary benefits for people that extend into almost every realm of human endeavor from education to transportation to medicine, genetics will undoubtedly benefit people everywhere in ways we can't even imagine but know will surely occur.
