Happy New Year 2009!

What’s your New Year’s resolution? Mine is to get my act together and become an active participant again in the discussions surrounding genetics and DNA in society (that means blogging more and working more).

There’s a lot to talk about, of course, starting with Suzie Lee’s assertion that DNA testing for “innate talent” worked for her kid.

It worked for my kid. I think you’re just a sore loser Doc that you couldnt profit from the idea or be seen as the first to market the product successfully.

It could change the world and ensure that all parents discover the strengths in their child and channel it properly resulting in no child feeling that he is in capable or a failure.

Grow Up.. the point is to do whatever we can to make sure our future aka our children have a the brightest possible tomorrow and if that means something like DNA testing then whats wrong.

Maybe you should do proper research (www.23andme.com) and understand what amazing developments are happening.

Fantastic. There’s your New Year’s resolution: Get genetic testing and never be a failure again.

Here’s hoping 2009 isn’t one big FAIL for you. Cheers!

The DNA Network Technical Issues

Many people have noticed that several blogs have gone missing from The DNA Network recently. Google has been migrating Feedburner accounts which has led to disrupted network services. Co-founder Ricardo Vidal of My Biotech Life has been working on resolving the issue. We’ll update everyone when the Network and its the RSS feed is fully functional again. Thanks for your patience!

(The main Network page appears to be up-to-date. What’s not being updated is the network feed.)

I’m still around but temporarily guest blogging at What’s new in life science research, a ScienceBlog sponsored by Invitrogen.

Come check out my last two posts:
