Do You Know Peas about Genes, Genetic Mutations, and Hereditary Cancer?

  

Knowledge is truly power when comes to preventing hereditary cancer. So, I have a created a hereditary cancer prevention resource with a little assistance from a certified genetic counselor and educator. It is professionally designed and printed, and I will try to make it available for free to as many people as possible.

More about the resource book here.

See Your DNA

 Little did I know that when I was working on this magazine assignment back in 2013, that in just four short years a certain segment of my daughter and late wife’s DNA with missing nucleotides was about to horrendously change the course of my life and career forever. Also at the time, I didn’t realize just how ignorant most adults are about genetics. I illustrated this simple experiment feature for the children’s science magazine, ASK, to introduce 6- to 9-year-olds to genomic science. But when I became a hereditary cancer caregiver in 2017, I felt like there needed to be an easy-to-understand introduction to DNA, genes, genetic mutations, and hereditary cancer for grown-ups. Fast forward to today, I have done just that. More info coming soon.

Still Relevant Today

 Selected as the cover image for a calendar published over a decade ago, this cartoon of mine is, sadly, still relevant.

(I’m a citizen scientist member of the Union of ConcernedScientists, BTW.)
