“Sarah Lawrence College has solved such problems before with the creation of the field of genetic counseling, so I’m betting on them to be the instigators and conveners who bring an ecosystem together that trains and prepares an ethical, diverse, and humane workforce ready to finally make precision health available to everyone.”
