i trust this effort
The first time I read about 23 and me, the cost of this DNA testing was $1000. At the time, Katie Hood was encouraging us to look five years down the road and assuring us that the cost would come down.
Instead, the cost has come down in just five months to $399, still high for many pwp on fixed incomes. $25 gets my attention! In essence, thru 23 and me, and MJFF, google [Sergey Brin] is paying for DNA testing on a very large scale. This trial is delivered to the patient's home and is generating massive PR.
It doesn't get any more convenient than this. Carey is visiting before heading up to PAN and we both have of course signed up.
it's a...well duh? which is a long way of saying 'i agree with you jean.'
