Dr. Francis Collins at JMU (Complete Presentation)

"Art Imitates Life: The Dance of DNA, Decoding, & Doctoring" by Dr. Francis Collins, Director of National Institutes of Health and formerly Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. Dr. Collins is also author of Language of Life: DNA and the Revolution in Personalized Medicine (2010).

Just one of several performances featured in a yearlong celebration of the "Dance of Art & Science" at James Madison University.

"We're still on the road" to personalized medicine, Collins said, but as the cost for DNA testing decreases, the influence of genetic information in health-care decisions will increase.

"Do not be surprised," he said, "if your own DNA sequence becomes important in your health care in the next half decade."

I find it grievous that this video of Francis Collins has only 265 views whilst some brittany spears music videos have 46 million.
