Excerpt:
The genetic revolution affects us every day: our health, our food, our families. The DNA Files -- a series of 14 one-hour public radio documentaries -- explains how.
The programs have won a number of major broadcasting honors, including duPont-Columbia, Robert Wood Johnson, AAAS Science Journalism, and Peabody awards.
Annotation:
This site provides summaries, full transcripts and audio files of National Public Radio programs hosted by John Hockenberry that focused on the issue of genetic science and its impact on society. Though the programs largely describe the present and future of genetic research, some of the content is historical in nature. The site also includes background information about the individuals who were interviewed for the program as well as the program itself. Significant funding for the project came from the Sloan Foundation.
