How did the Birdcage Theater come to be?
13:57
Oh, now that's actually my favorite.
14:00
Some of my favorite research revealed the answer to this question.
14:04
You know, you had the life cycle of that town.
14:07
You basically have some, just a few scrubby miners on site there in 1878.
14:14
Once the mines and once the ore proved long-term viability, the town really exploded.
14:19
And so it went from, you know, canvas tents and maybe a few frame buildings to building and investing in permanent structures.

Also, what were some of the most interesting artifacts that you found?

So it does vary a little bit depending on where the samples, where, you know, where the person resides, where the samples came from, but a lot more work is needed to get, you know, a bigger picture of, of, you know, different populations across the US and internationally.

And Len, if I could jump in a little bit.

Judy's humility about this discovery is humbling in and of itself.
6:44
I mean, this is her, what I say, her life's work.
6:47
This has been over twenty years of research.
6:50
To be able to summarize it in a few sentences is pretty remarkable, [chuckles] okay? Um, and I think, you know, from a, a background perspective, I've been an admirer of Judy's work, and having come from, I'll, uh, share a little bit on the, from the autism genetic testing side, um, and I've been in this space for about twenty or twenty-five years.
7:10
So I think between Judy and myself, we've been in this space for about fifty years combined, uh, probably.

And so can you talk a little bit about how parents can actually use the, this information practically? What, what, what kind of actions does it lead to potentially?
