Okay, I was up in the middle of the night again during my usual insomniac period (1:00am – 5:00am)… I am getting old…anyway, there was a fascinating show on PBS – the NOVA series, entitled “THE GHOST IN YOUR GENES”.
Pretty f*n cool stuff on epigenetics, with part of the program profiling autism (cancer, diabetes, too) and its relation to this up and coming field in research. Also, every mother that follows biomedicine will say “What the hell has MAMA been saying all along, fools??!!”.
If you haven’t already read my post about the methylation cycle in regard to autism, you SHOULD!

Cogito – Cogito Interview: Andrew Feinberg, Epigenetics Pioneer
SCIENTIST CARL says:
This will be an up and coming field that will gets lots of attention for the next decade. Finally people are beginning to appreciate that our lives (quality of lives) are directly related to the interaction of our genome and environment where we live (geographically and family wise). Really cool stuff.
Now, will someone hurry the butt chuck up and do a huge study on this for my/our baby’s sake/s!
