US Geneticist Discusses North Korea Trip With Dennis Rodman 101
sciencehabit writes "If you happened to catch any of the news coverage of Dennis Rodman's trip to North Korea last week, you might have spotted in the big man's entourage a white guy with an Amish-style beard, as in clean-shaven cheeks and no mustache. That's Joseph Terwilliger, 48, a statistical geneticist who splits his time at Columbia University and the University of Helsinki. He's now visited North Korea three times with the basketball star. He sat down with Science Magazine for a Q and A about how he got involved with Rodman and whether the trips are helping--or hurting--U.S. relations with the country."

..what is this doing on Slashdot?
Is this the current Slashdot meme? Can't you find some subtile but helerious (in a geeky way) tie-in with Natalie Portman? Good grief, put some effort into it, man!
But to answer your question, the man is not just a geneticist, but a statistical geneticist, so that qualifies for the minimum needed geek factor for a poorly edited Slashdot "story".
