The Open University
The Human Genome Project, the cutting edge of 21st century science, involves a unique collaboration between biologists, geneticists and statisticians, using the latest information technology. Today we stand on the brink of a new era, and the work of one man prepared the way. But few people today know of the achievements of Ronald Aylmer Fisher. The four video tracks on this album investigate the enduring legacy of a largely unknown genius. The material forms part of the course SMK184 Chance, Risk & Health.
