Michelle Meyer is an Assistant Professor and Associate Director of Research Ethics at Geisinger’s Center for Translational Bioethics and Health Care Policy in Danville PA. We spoke a few months ago about: her background; choosing to study both law and religious studies; having a doctorate in religious studies while being a nonbeliever; being a professional misfit; the weirdness of the institutional review board system; how we manage biospecimens and data; whether we should read social media terms of service agreements; why it’s not always a big deal when social media companies do research; what it’s like to live with an uncertain version of the gene responsible for Huntington’s disease; and what the public gets wrong about Huntington’s and other genetic diseases.
