The end of gene patenting, an exhibit of American Indian art, and painting in the great outdoors of Frederick




WYPR: Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast Podcast show

Summary: The Supreme Court ruled last week that human genes cannot be patented. One of the plaintiffs in that case is a geneticist who now works at Johns Hopkins. We talk about what the ruling means for patients—and for new research. Then, a visit to the Baltimore American Indian Museum. We speak with two artists of two different generations, art disciplines, and cultural traditions about collaborating on the museum’s newest exhibition, "Stories InForm." And, this week 30 artists will descend on Frederick County to be part of "Easels in Frederick," a painting event outdoors or en plein-air. Tom Hall talks to one of the event's co-chairs and a plein-air painter.
