Changing the practice and practitioners of anthropological genomics
Ripan S. Malhi, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Presentation abstract:
Anthropological genomics has its roots in the field of physical anthropology which has a long history of extractive research, some of which continues today. In this presentation, I discuss developing training programs for students in the social and life sciences as well as my evolving research program in anthropological genomics.
