Genomes and Me by Antillio Lee

Dr. Georgia M. Dunston’s lecture this past Wednesday was an extraordinary to say the least. The way she linked biology to the psychology of your mind was something that I had my opinion on but was never really told facts too. Professor Dunston’s approach to this study is one that is done, correctly in my eyes, so her results are actually moral and evident in society today. Genome are what makes each individual an individual and not in common. It shapes the way you think, dress, act and overall carry you. Without the genome individuality is lost.

I was highly enthusiastic of Professor Dunston’s address; though because of the limited seating couldn’t here exactly EVERYTHING that she said. From what I did pick up though really had me look at Biology in a way that I never could have seen me do prior. Her voice projected well, even all the way to the back so that I actually was able to be involved and engaged in what she was saying.

In relation to our group question of how our studies affect poverty is this, with the study of what makes us who we are and how it does this, we are able to study why some behave in such a fashion that would lead them to poverty, or those situations, or others, that placed them into poverty in the first place.
