Genetics, Dennis Rodman, and the Key to Happiness: A Conversation with Joe Terwilliger

In this episode, Anthony and Clay speak with Joe Terwilliger. Joe is technically a professor of neurobiology at Columbia University… except he doesn’t actually know anything about neurobiology. What he’s really an expert at is using statistical analysis in genetics research. Listen to this episode if you want to learn why studying genetics is so difficult, why accounting for ethnicity is crucial for dietary and medical research, why poor people in India are often happier than poor people in the US, and much, much more!

Oh, and did we mention that Joe has spent time in North Korea hanging out with Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un?

-       That commercial that was, let’s say, racially insensitive
