I recently contributed a post to DoubleXScience, a site dedicated to all things women and science. The piece is called Armchair Genetics from Jamestown to Scott Brown and can be found here. It touches on children and race, assumptions, celebrities, a Cheerios ad, and the history of anti-miscegenation laws in the US (particularly relevant in light of the recent rulings on gay marriage). Please feel free to comment and share your own experiences or just let me know what you think!
