Once in a blue moon, a scientist comes along who revolutionizes the state of our world. Today’s guest, UVA alum Dr. Francis Collins, is one such scientist. After conducting research that isolated the genes that cause disorders like Huntington’s disease and cystic fibrosis, Dr. Collins went on to lead one of the most audacious projects in the history of science: the Human Genome Project. He also served as the Director of the National Institutes of Health and the Science Advisor to the President. In this episode, we talk to Dr. Collins about his career, as well as his strong beliefs that science and faith come hand-in-hand — and he gives us a surprise musical performance!
