On March 9th, the CSSD project Precision Medicine: Ethics, Politics and Culture will host Jackie Leach Scully for a lecture at Columbia. Leach Scully is Professor of Social Ethics and Bioethics, and Executive Director, Policy, Ethics and Life Sciences Research Centre, Newcastle University, UK.

Professor Leach Scully asks how the enormous recent advances in genomic knowledge and capabilities might affect the public's understanding of embodiment that is disabled. How might precision medicine influence thinking about and attitudes towards disability, and disabled people, in the future?
