In this episode, we share how the relatively new field of epigenetics provides us with a scientific point of entry to understanding traditional systems of knowledge that can now be understood more widely.  It helps us unpack first and foremost for our own communities why the experiences of our ancestors still affect us today.  We delve into the intricate dance of how our DNA, our gene expression, and our experiences and environment combine to impact how we interact and perceive and respond to the world around us.    Take our survey! Now that you’ve listened to us, we want to hear from you.
