It’s Pete Hulick! Are you Going to GET?"},"content":{"rendered":"

I want to congratulate Dr Peter Hulick<\/span> M.D. Medical Geneticist\/Internist.<\/a><\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/div>
I just read his wonderful article in the Internal Medicine News.<\/a> For those who don't know Dr. Hulick<\/span>, he is on heck of a doctor and a really nice guy. I look forward to more articles from him in the future!<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Secondly, after all the big splash effort about the GET conference, I would like to encourage readers to attend.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
“The GET Conference 2010 marks the last opportunity in history to gather a majority of individuals in the world with public personal genome sequences in a single venue,” says George Church, founder and principal investigator of the Personal Genome Project and professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School. “With rapid advances in technology, the number of individuals with personal genome sequences is expected to rise dramatically, from dozens today to thousands by 2011 and a million or more individuals within the next few years.”<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
That is a pretty heady statement by Dr. Church. Does he really think 2010 will be the year that 1000s of people will get whole genomes done?<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
I say, maybe a little hype. How about hundreds? Maybe....<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
The morning portion of GET Conference 2010 will feature <\/span><\/span>wide-ranging<\/span><\/span> discussions during which personal genome pioneers and globally recognized leaders of genomic science and industry, including the genetic bad-a$$ Misha Angrist<\/span>, The O'l<\/span> Man: George Church, Joltin<\/span> Jay Flatley<\/span>, \"Do You Know Who I Am!\" Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Rosalynn<\/span> Gill, Seong<\/span>-Jin<\/span> Kim, Greg Lucier<\/span>, James Lupski<\/span>, Stephen Quake, Dan \"Where's my refund?\" Stoicescu<\/span> and James \"Well, It's True\" Watson, will share their experiences and discuss the future of personal genomics<\/span>. Award-winning science journalists Carl Zimmer<\/span> and Robert Krulwich<\/span> will moderate the discussions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Why is this going to be a great conference? The speakers, that's why.<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

The afternoon program will additionally showcase:<\/span><\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>

·<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Four “prototypes of the future” sessions highlighting the next generation of personalized genomic products, services and activities and moderated by the executive editor of WIRED and author, Thomas \"The Death Stare\" Goetz<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>

·<\/span><\/span> <\/span>The public debut of the BioWeatherMap<\/span> initiative, a collaboration between scientists and the public using next-generation sequencing platforms to address the fundamental question: “How diverse is the microbial life around us and how can we use that information to our advantage?”<\/span><\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The GET Conference 2010 will take place on Tuesday, April 27, 2010 from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. at the Microsoft New England Research and Development Center in Cambridge, Mass. <\/span><\/span>The event will be limited to 200 registrants. <\/span><\/span><\/span>To register<\/span><\/span> for the GET Conference 2010, visit <\/span><\/span>http:\/\/www.getconference.eventbrite.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/u><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Tommy Goetz<\/span> hates me, but I still will go because, let's face it, who doesn't love the<\/span><\/span><\/p>
