TEXT BOOK
Welcome, enquirer
Hello! I'm Greg Gibson, a human geneticist at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. I grew up in Canberra, started my career making flies grow legs on their heads in Basel, got interested in genetic variation and the use of contemporary genomics to study it at Stanford, moved to Ann Arbor then Raleigh, and have spent the last 15 years working on various aspects of human genetics. I hope you'll find my new book, Natural Virtue, interesting.
It is all about how genetics is a natural buffer against authoritarianism, while also being a call for renewed embrace of Aristotelian virtue ethics which, like genetics, gravitates toward the golden mean. A panacea for our times!
As Audre Lorde once wrote, "It is not our differences that divide us, it is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences."
I write about genetics and social issues every month or so at my substack, Genome's Take
