Short: What Just Happened to 23andMe? w/ Jenny Reardon

Personalised genotyping company 23andMe just went bankrupt — what’s gonna happen to all that genetic data?

This is a Computer Says Maybe Short, where we bring in an expert to give their take on recent news. If there’s ever a news story you think we should bring in expertise on for the show, please email pod@saysmaybe.com
