Earth BioGenome Project

I'm honoured to have been invited to join the Earth BioGenome ("EBP") Project as part of the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues ("ELSI") Committee.  The mission of the EBP Project is, rather wonderfully, "A MOONSHOT FOR BIOLOGY - Sequence the DNA of all life on Earth in 10 years", and the EPB Project team is international and impressive.  Here are the three major goals of the Project:

1.  Benefiting Human Welfare
2.  Protecting Biodiversity
3.  Understanding Ecosystems

I'm positive I'll have more to report as the EBP Project develops and evolves.
