All Generations: A Personal Story of Inheritance
Genetics, genomes, and genealogies – we live in an age of unprecedented power to unlock our biological heritage. But we still experience human frailties such as infertility, disease, and ultimately death. By considering her own hereditary legacy, both biological and spiritual, CSCA vice-president Heather Prior will reflect on the theme of inheritance, and consider what it might mean to pass on a rich inheritance to future generations.
Heather Prior (Ph.D. Genetics, University of Alberta) is Associate Professor and Chair of Biology at The King’s University in Edmonton, AB. She teaches and studies biology and its history as an associate professor at The King’s University in Edmonton. She has also studied in Winnipeg, Ohio, California, and China. Her research interests include ocular cataracts, honeybee diseases, and the intersection of faith and science, particularly in the area of reproductive technology and treatments for infertility. She delights in teaching, traveling, collaborating, and generally being amazed at the incredible universe God has created. She has experienced the CSCA as a gift of fellowship and an opportunity to nurture and deepen the dialogue between Christian faith and science.
