I have to write a four-to-five page summary and discussion leadin of the readings for this week, which include:

• Stefan Helmreich, "Species of Biocapital"
• Michel Foucault, "Right of Death and Power over Life"
• Kaushik Sunder Rajan, Biocapital: The Constitution of Postgenomic Life (chapters 0,1, 2, 5)

These notes will come from all of those texts and are meant primarily for me to distill into this short paper. If it gets really long (or I don't finish reading it all today) there maywill be a part 2 later. As always, feel free to read along and I hope they are interesting, but these are 90% for my own reference.( notes )
