I was listening to a program on NPR about DNA this morning when they
made a point that genetics pre-disposes people to get cancer or not
get cancer, etc. It occurred to me that my students do not have a
very good understanding of the difference. And it made me think
about how to get them to understand the distinction so that when they
hear news reports they will apply that knowledge. So my question
is how do you handle this issue in your courses?
