The splendid tapestry: How DNA reveals truths, ancient & lasting | Nathan Pearson | TEDxBoston

Amid global ethnic and political strife, can DNA help settle questions of history, diversity, and rights? Can doing so challenge assumptions on how to secure the justice that lasting peace requires? Join us to walk through an example, highlighting how our genomes reveal spicy details from the past...with vital lessons for our future. Compassion DNA Genetics History Human Rights Justice Science Genomicist Nathan Pearson explores what DNA reveals about our health and history. Teaming with fellow scientists and genome-curious layfolk — from historian Henry Louis Gates, Jr., to rocker Ozzy Osbourne, and journalist Carl Zimmer — he has long worked to make inner data personally and scientifically useful. Trained at Stanford and the University of Chicago, he led research efforts at Knome and the New York Genome Center, and, in memory of his mom (who died at 34 of blood cancer with no marrow donor), founded RootDeep.com to reward tissue volunteers with wise, personal, and free insight from their own most vital genes. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
