When Joselin Linder was a teenager, her beloved dad, Dr William Linder, became mysteriously sick in his 40s.  His doctors, as well as medical professionals across the US and around the world, watched his body slowly decline.  But there were no answers.  By age 49, he was dead. One of the world’s leading genetics research teams - at the Seidman Lab at Harvard Medical School – discovered that Jos too had inherited the same genetic mutation that had not only killed her father, but five other members of her family.For perhaps the first time in medical history, this population (known in scientific terms as a FOUNDER POPULATION) has been isolated and through the efforts (and immense sacrifices) of Jos and her family, the gene won’t be passed on to a 5th generation. But those living with the gene - including Jos and her sister Hilary - are still fighting to find a cure.BUT BEFORE YOU GO…Find out more about Jos here Find more about The Family Gene hereFollow Jos on InstaFollow Jos on TwitterJos’ Article in The New York TimesJos at TedXFind out more about Tam hereFollow Tam on InstaFollow BRAVE JOURNEYS on InstaJoin the conversation and chat about the episode hereNEED MORE INSPIRATION?Find other BRAVE JOURNEYS episodes hereCREDITS:Creator, Host &amp; Executive Producer: Tammi FaradayWith thanks to my special guest: Joselin LinderAudio Editor: Zoltan FecsoWith very special thanks to George Weinberg.BRAVE JOURNEYS acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we record this podcast on, the Yaluk-ut Weelam Clan of the Boon Wurrung who are part of the Kulin Nation.

#1568 – Joselin Linder

I was so blown away by the courage and wisdom of today’s guest.  And just straight up fascinated by her personal story.  Joselin Linder is caring an extremely rare gene that has killed several members of her family for generations, and has only recently begun to be understood.   Joselin lives every day with an acute certainty of her own death.  She watched her dad’s untimely, and painful, death from this “mystery” illness, before digging into the science of it herself.  Through her own investigation, and the writing of her book The Family Gene, she’s helping to bring awareness, research, and insight to the world of genetics in the human experience.   Her story takes us beyond scientific laboratories, and into our own everyday understanding.  And, wow, it’s fascinating, important, and hopeful. Joselin Linder is a regular contributor to the NEW YORK POST, whose work has also been featured on THIS AMERICAN LIFE, MORNING EDITION and LIFE OF THE LAW. She spoke at the TEDX GOWANUS event in Brooklyn in 2014, presenting for the first time on the subject of her family gene and the deadly illness to which it leads. Exclusive to just fourteen people, the story of the gene is told in Linder’s new book, THE FAMILY GENE. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two dogs. We talk about:  Basic genetics and why it’s crucial that we all pay attention What it’s like to live as a “ticking time bomb,” with a deadly gene Death and dying, and how to manage the fear (and beauty) Living your actual “bucket list” starting right now Genetics and ethics for all of us When Jim Parsons (of Big Bang Theory) calls you about your book…  For more on Joselin (and to read her book!), check these out:  Grab her book, The Family Gene HERE The Family Gene book trailer HERE Her TEDX Talk  HERE  Other Resources Mentioned:  How to Handle Stress During the Holidays (and always) RadioLab on CRISPR Technology  The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks  More from ME: Come hang out in my FREE Facebook Community for deeper conversations and connections with other awesome women Ready for better relationships?
