“Genomics? Isn’t that just Genetics? Are we making up words now?”
Look, we get it.
'Nice Genes!' host Dr. Kaylee Byers talks with neuroscientist and science communicator Dr. Samantha Yammine (‘Science Sam’) to get the downlow on what “genomics” actually means. They’ll explore extinct species, secret photographs, and the DNA jungle that lies within our brains; all just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to discovering the fabulous possibilities of genomics. Suit up and put your nerd snorkels on, people, because we’re diving in!
Listen to 'Nice Genes!' wherever you get your podcasts, brought to you by Genome British Columbia.
