Celebrity Friday: Dean Hamer

MadProfessah, with scientist Dean Hamer

Last weekend I attended the Out To Innovate conference as a panelist and moderator; it was held at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles on October 10th. Organized by NOGLSTP, the national organization for gay and lesbian scientists and technical professionals, the conference is the LGBT's community response to President Obama's Educate to Innovate initiative.

Dean Hamer, the author of the famous Science article "A linkage between DNA markers on the X chromosome and male sexual orientation" which demonstrates that sexual orientation has a genetic component, gave the keynote speech at the Out to Innovate conference during lunch.

Afterwards, he graciously agreed to take a picture with me.
