Notes:
Dr. Rina Bliss is an associate professor of sociology at Rutgers University. Her research explores the personal and societal significance of emerging genetic sciences. Rina has written two books: 'Race Decoded: The Genomic Fight for Social Justice,' revealing how genomics became today's new science of race; and 'Social by Nature: The Promise and Peril of Sociogenomics,' which traces convergences in social and genetic science and their implications for healthcare, education, criminal justice, and policymaking.
