The Epigenetics Revolution: How Modern Biology Is Rewriting Our Understanding of Genetics, Disease, and Inheritance

Nessa Carey
Steve SpaldingSteve Spalding

@hi_tysam This is fascinating! I really started thinking about this more deeply when I read The Epigenetics Revolution by Nessa Carey. It's a really nice, non-technical primer. The number of environmental factors that can fundamentally effect/shape our cognition is startling.

@drillerburro @8teAPi @RichardMCNgo That would be useful for understanding the real world effects of these models? I’d probably read Flash Boys by Michael Lewis, maybe look up the Flash Crash of 2010, do some research into “front running” and “dark pools.” (As they relate to HFT).
