On the Radio:
Several years ago I appeared as a guest on Seattle’s National Public Radio station KUOW’s Weekday program. The topic of the program was the potential ramifications of a recent court decision invalidating certain portions of patents held by Myriad Genetics on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. This topic, focusing on whether or not genes should be patentable, led to an interesting discussion among the panel members, which also included Jon Izant of Sage Networks, Ulrich Mueller of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Andrew Serafini of Fenwick and West. The segment aired on March 29, 2010 and you can listen to the recording by clicking here.
Pacific NW Economic Region's Economic Leadership Forum - I moderated a panel discussion on Sept. 19, 2014 on "Building a Biotech Cluster."
