The New York Times Science Times Podcast: Dr. Lee Hood and 100K Wellness Project

The New York Times's Jeffrey DelViscio, who is a senior staff editor for the Science Times, interviewed our Dr. Lee Hood during the recent (Feb. 13-17) American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Chicago for a podcast segment called "The Virtual Self." From the introduction:

"…in order to truly understand health, wellness and disease, an individual human must create he or her own data cloud, which can be recorded, decoded and summarized so that the patient can act on that information. For Leroy Hood, the president of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, it’s the best way to catch disease in the body before it actually takes hold."
