Exploring Your Genes

Max McCoy speaks with Joyce about his recent personal adventure, exploring the depths of his own genome.  It's an ongoing adventure worthy of some of his fictional heroes -- unexpected twists and turns, sometimes more information than you know what to do with, and often more questions than answers are unearthed.
