She's not offering treatment, she's not offering counseling, and there are programs that do that. PEJK MALINOVSKI: Okay, I'm here. DESTINY HARRIS: Honestly, I think it never seemed like she was anything but my real mom, if that makes sense. JAD: And very often, one of them will just go crashing into the DNA and it'll stick there like a barnacle or a glob of peanut butter. She's not offering treatment, she's not offering counseling, and there are programs that do that. He actually coined the word biology, too. LATIF: This is Radiolab. She and I snuck away from the children into her office. SAM KEAN: But this was a really, really tough place to grow up. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: Not usually because it upsets people and I'm Canadian.
