Ooh, that sounds interesting. It's probably be over my head though, haha. I'm working towards a certification for behaviorism and there are requirements for continuing education; I'll have to check and see if this would count. We're going to the PSD convention that is about the same time, so I'll have to see if I can convince hubby that it would be worthwhile to go. I'm very intersted in genetics, but I haven't really had the opportunity to learn much.

Thank you for posting this.
