I'm grateful to TEDx for hosting such an enriching lecture, and I extend my sincere appreciation to Kent Thornburg for his insightful presentation on epigenetics. Today marks the first time I've encountered the concept of " how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work." Thank you immensely.
