PolITiGenomics is a blog by <NAME> about the confluence (and
sometimes incongruence) of several of the most important topics
surrounding the future of human health: genomics, agriculture,
information technology, and politics.  Entries will cover topics
including genomics research, next-generation sequencing technologies,
informatics, computer hardware and software, free software,
agriculture, GMOs, and politics.
