#31: Population geneticist Janina M. Jeff, Ph.D discusses her work, In Those Genes Podcast, & speaking at TEDxFlatbush

Janina M. Jeff, Ph.D is a Spelman alum, population geneticist, Spotify Soundoff Bootcamp winner, a self-taught coder, and expert Googler. We dig in to what a geneticist does, her job as a senior Bioinformatic scientist at Illumina, the importance of information-sharing, and giving her first TEDx talk at TEDxFlatbush. She is also the host of In Those Genes Podcast, a hip-hop inspired podcast that uses genetics to uncover the lost identities of African descended Americans through the lens of Black culture.


We discuss what exactly a population geneticist does, how she does it, the importance of information-sharing, and her emotional journey throughout her education and work. I deeply appreciate Janina's vulnerability about complex and personal issues, and am so thankful for her and to be able to share her journey.

Janina recently gave a TEDx talk at TEDxFlatbush, she shares the process, what she learned, and what she forgot! Listen in as she shares her journey.
