Guest moderator Laura Khalil- a speaker, podcast host and producer of Top #125 podcast Brave by Design will lead a discussion with author and journalist Libby Copeland. A Q&A session will follow.
They will explore the extraordinary cultural phenomenon of home DNA testing, which is redefining family history. It will draw on Libby Copeland’s years of research for her new book The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are (Abrams, 2020), which The Wall Street Journal calls “a fascinating account of lives dramatically affected by genetic sleuthing.” With more than 37 million people having been tested, a tipping point has been reached. Virtually all Americans are affected whether they have been tested or not, and millions have been impacted by significant revelations in their immediate families. Laura Khalil's story of her surprising DNA discovery was featured on WDET.
This event will be held using Zoom.
