I've had the extreme pleasure of meeting Ricki Lewis, Phd.
She has her doctorate in genetics, and is a writer. In addtion to writing many textbooks, Ricki has also written a book about Corey Haas, the first boy to recieve gene therapy for LCA.
"The Forever Fix, Gene Therapy and the Boy Who Saved it." - follows Corey's story. Corey was a pioneer, someone I personally look up to. He was the first, who has paved the way for so many children after him.
I've not had the pleasure of reading the book yet, but I will. Ricki was kind enough to send us a copy with a nice inscription to Nomi on the inside.
Ricki maintains an excellent blog about genetics. An example can be found here:
