Rates of change
▪ Everything I have mentioned is old news!
▪ Current rates of change are unprecedented
▪ We will know more about human health, genetics, nutrition, exercise… in the next 10 years then we have learned in the last 100!
▪ The Human Genome Project was the international research effort to determine the DNA sequence of the
entire human genome. It took 13 years and was published in 2003, with an estimated cost of over $300 million. Today, a whole human genome can be
sequenced in one day for under $1000.
