  10. @pathogenomenick @jcbarret @lukejostins Suggestions: “contact us” icon should be a rotary phone; site needs more pictures of Southern blots. 3:32 AM May 30th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to pathogenomenick
  11. The Parkinson’s patent issue certainly highlights the tension for @23andMe of sustaining both a business and a community. 3:29 AM May 30th via Tweetbot for iOS
