Beyond Nature vs. Nurture: Our past becomes our children’s future
Exposure to introduced chemicals in our environment, what we eat, and our lifestyles- new research in epigenetics is revealing that our children’s and grand children’s health can inherit the risks or rewards of our life history. Join us as Michael Skinner, PhD, explains the science behind these latest findings and as Kelly Edwards, PhD, introduces us to the ethical challenges they present.
