• Genomic Profiling of Breast Tumors - IGSP investigator Anil Potti explains on Duke Today how a combination of clinical and genomic information may predict breast cancer patients' prognosis.
• Why are we more scared of ebola than influenza? - English professor Priscilla Wald appears on Duke Today to explain why people are afraid of exotic diseases -- not the ones most likely to kill them.
• Healthy Life Moment - Dr. Willard recently appeared on ABC News' Healthy Life Moments to discuss pattern of genetic variance that predispose us to certain diseases and the advantages of pinpointing these parts of our genome to develop truly personalized healthcare.
