"I'm a glutton for purpose": R&D with Genetic Counselor Dr. Altovise Ewing, LCGC - a podcast by Renee Pelletier

On the next episode of Rosé and DNA, we share some wine (and cranberry juice!) with Dr. Altovise Ewing!

Dr. Ewing received her PhD in genetics/genetic counseling from Howard University, previously worked at 23andMe, and now works as a Global Health Equity Strategist for Genentech. Dr. Ewing has a clear vision for how the field of genetics and medical research can engage thoughtfully and responsibly with underserved communities, with the goal of improving outcomes for communities of color.

Dr. Ewing's favorite causes:

Painted Pink for Breast Cancer (PaintedPink.org) - #Blackowned non-profit empowering millennials to take charge of their breast health  

Satcher Health Leadership Institute (satcherinstitute.org) - aims to be the leading transformational force for health equity in policy, leadership development, and research  

Equal Justice Initiative (eji.org) - works to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality   

Wines tasted:  

Riesling from Alice Hartmann, a vineyard in the Mosel region of Europe - light, crisp, and fruity! 

Rosé from Gérard Bertrand - not too sweet, pale pink, and packaged in a pretty bottle!
