Zoom information will be sent out midweek, the WEEK BEFORE THE MEETING, to JGSMD members. Libby Copeland's book, The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are, explores the rapidly evolving phenomenon of home DNA testing, its implications for how we think about family and ourselves, and its ramifications for American culture broadly. The Wall Street Journal says it's "a fascinating account of lives dramatically affected by genetic sleuthing." The Washington Post says The Lost Family "wrestles with some of the biggest questions in life: Who are we? What is family? Are we defined by nature, nurture or both?"
Libby Copeland is an award-winning journalist and author, who writes about culture, science, and human behavior. She was a staff reporter and editor for The Washington Post for 11 years, and, as a freelance journalist, she writes for such media outlets as The Atlantic, Slate, New York, Smithsonian, The New York Times, The New Republic, Esquire.com, and The Wall Street Journal.
