Look Ma, I’m in Newsweek

by Andrew Meyer on April 14, 2008

Make sure you pick up a copy of Newsweek this week.

The one with this cover (April 21, 2008 Issue):

newsweek

Claudia Kalb did a great write-up of all the new-fangled personal genome services that have been popping up lately, like deCODEme, Navigenics and 23andMe (that’s the one I did), and how they’re being marketed.

The article is titled “May We Scan Your Genome?”

You can find the article on p.44 in the magazine and you can also read the full article on the Newsweek site here. The blurb from my interview is at the end of the article.

Update: View actual scans of the magazine article here.

Thanks to Hsien over at Eye on DNA for setting this up. She emailed me while I was driving, I answered back and like 5 minutes later Claudia Kalb called.

Don’t worry, I put this in the ‘Disgusting Self-Promotion’ category, too. :)

  • Thanks, buddy.
  • Nice quote, "I'm really curious". Very extensive.
  • Hahaha I know. It's all about being economical. :)
  • You were driving?!?! I have a policy of not interacting with people on their cell phones while they're driving. Too dangerous! :P
  • Haha don't worry, I was a passenger during reply/conversation. Safety first.
