In September 2011 her book, My Beautiful Genome: Exposing Our Genetic Future, One Quirk at a Time was released to positive reviews. The book is based on a number of genetic-based tests, which aims to clarify the biological context of human personal development. It was also released in German, Norwegian and Dutch.[3]

gollark: Computers existing has also resulted in *tons* of stuff becoming more efficient and automated. Also frequently stupid things like IoT.
gollark: Another important area which seems to have improved a lot "recently" is genetic modification and sequencing.
gollark: Yes, there is seemingly slowdown in the actual hardware, but progress on software stuff and lots of interesting new approaches to hardware.
gollark: Yes, I know, it's very exciting.
gollark: We got blue LEDs (→ LED lighting) and lithium ion batteries (→ ~every portable device and now cars) within about the same timeframe, I think.
