Stuart Kim: This is clearly a brave new world. And we have enough historical cautions on the on route to just keep an eye on this, because humans will sort you in such a way that oppression follows immediately after. But if you're a kid, start winning cross country tournaments and things, and so, I have nothing to do with it. All right. We got to end it. Stuart, great to have you back. Thank you so much.

Can you predict your future health using genetics? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explore advances in genetic testing, polygenic risk scores, and the future of genetics with geneticist Dr. Stuart Kim.
