This is just one question from an archive of the National DNA Day Moderated Chat held in April 2011. The NHGRI Director and many genomics experts from across NHGRI took questions from students, teachers and the general public on topics ranging from basic genomic research, to the genetic basis of disease, to ethical questions about genetic privacy.

What does James Watson do nowadays? Is he still doing research or enjoying retirement?
     Vence Bonham, J.D.: I currently research the ethical, legal, social and policy implications of genomic discoveries, particularly health professionals' and lay persons' understanding of race, ethnicity and genetics. Dr. Watson recently participated in the NHGRI symposium "Charting A Course for Genomic Medicine" (www.genome.gov/27543551).
