Honored to present at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University.  I will present on what to consider before and after taking a DNA test.

Consumer DNA tests are popular gifts, but their results can upend lives in an instant. Join attorney, author, and podcaster Maria Leonard Olsen for an eye-opening, supportive session on navigating the complex world of genetic testing. Drawing from her own experience of discovering misattributed parentage and a major ethnicity surprise, Maria offers practical guidance on managing unexpected family discoveries. In this session, you will explore significant privacy, medical and other risks of DNA tests, learn how to protect your family, and gain the tools to handle sensitive secrets with care. Whether you are considering a test or processing unexpected results, you will leave with invaluable, actionable advice. Learn more about Maria’s background, TEDx Talk, and upcoming book at www.MariaLeonardOlsen.com. Space is limited.
