My father and I made genetics history. We were the first African-Americans and the first father and son anywhere to have their genomes sequenced.

When I turned 30 due to my father's heart history and my family genetics I vowed to start seeing a cardiologist every year and just really be proactive and take my own heart health into my own hands.

The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I'm talking about an organic computer - about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor.

Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism you could remain nonverbal. You don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics you wouldn't have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.'
