Hsien at Genetics and Health decided it would be interesting to interview some idiot and post the answers online.

Thanks again for taking the time to do the interview. Your answers were really great.
I was trying my best to do the humility shtick.
Having worked in human population genetics and medical genetics, I probably don't appreciate enough the work done in other model organsims. Since having moved to Cornell, I've met a lot of Drosophila population geneticists as well as alot of plant geneticists!
