The Personal Genetics Education Project (pgEd)[1] aims to engage and inform a worldwide audience about the benefits of knowing one's genome as well as the ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI)[2] and dimensions of personal genetics.[3] pgEd was founded in 2006, is housed in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and is directed by Ting Wu, a professor in that department. It employs a variety of strategies for reaching general audiences, including generating online curricular materials,[4] leading discussions in classrooms, workshops, and conferences, developing a mobile educational game (Map-Ed),[5] holding an annual conference geared toward accelerating awareness (GETed[6]), and working with the world of entertainment to improve accuracy and outreach.[7][8][9][10]
