Absolutely fantastic interview. Anna is fascinating, interesting and inspiring and her practical focus/take on preventive healthcare is such a refresher.

Paul Mclaughlin Anne*

[@arezoumortazavi]

Today I just read her name in Yuval Noah Harari book, googled her name and this video came up first! I am definitely like her idea and her product. Very good interview thanks!

[@AnyaChuri]

Love you Anne! One such role model are you! Persona worth emulating!

[@erusev]

She's so relaxed :) Great interview!

[@friedrich6838]

One of my favorite interviews, thanks for uploading!

[@webpro607]

Just checked the 23andMe stock performance. what was the reason of this sharp drop from multi billion dollar to "only" $300M and still falling?

[@ChrisandSohee]

Impressive Video, Keep up the good work!

[@eyeofthetiger7]

This was great! Thanks Anne for what you are doing.

[@ty814]

[@arpsri9675]

Questions is good, you just have to give answers. Rules without explanation will bring no change, no developement, no discovery. In my opinion

[@matthimurasch8397]

[@matthimurasch8397]

I can give you codes you need bevore start to future

[@jameskelmenson1927]

I'd be interested to hear more about what 23 and Me analyzes and stores when you send them a kit. Maybe that information is online somewhere, but my impression is they just look at the DNA. I really wonder what a company like this could do with, say, tissue samples and DNA samples from everyone in the whole world. I'm so down to pay a company to analyze biological data in the hopes of producing better health outcomes, I just wonder if a blood sample or something is anywhere close to a complete picture. Is it time for the next step and weekly screenings for everyone, because a one time DNA analysis is gimmicky to me in 2018.
