Speaker: Dr. C. Brandon Ogbunu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University
Genetics and its many subfields have made strides in their attempt to define the flow of information that underlies how living things operate. This has created a landscape full of intrigue, complexity, and controversy, as we deal squarely with who we are as a species, and most importantly, what underlies the differences in phenotypes and fates. In this seminar, I introduce the idea of a “Biology nexus,” a new understanding of biology that can rigorously and responsibly incorporate multiple understandings about life—including the molecular, technological, social, and contextual—into a more complete picture of who we are and why we are different. In doing so, we create a more rigorous dogma that embodies, rather than regresses, the statistical noise and capriciousness that underlies modern genetics.
