Kathryn interviews NY Times Best Selling Author Abigail Tucker

A longtime writer for Smithsonian Magazine, Tucker writes Mom Genes to be scientific and accessible. Part scientific odyssey, part memoir, it weaves the latest research from top labs across the globe including Yale, Princeton, Leiden and more with Tucker’s personal experiences to create a delightful, surprising and poignant portrait of motherhood.
