Wow, that’s pretty cool. It made it 4th on the list too. Not too shabby.

That is really encouraging that this came up on the radar of more mainstream America… like Parade. I would not have guessed it would have made a blip. Encouraging… we can only hope things like this have a positive effect on likelihood of future funding for more projects like these.

As a cancer survivor I wanted to let you know that I had three people ask me about genomics after the Parade piece. I did my best to explain and then sent them here.

Aftercancer, thanks for pointing people here. There is much more to come along these lines.
