Write a response to this article Clinical genetics Fiona Lalloo demystifies what is involved in this rapidly expanding specialty Mentioning that I'm a clinical geneticist in a conversation is a sure fire way of eliciting a blank stare for a few moments followed by the words "But what do you actually do?" Well, the first point is that we are "real doctors" and we don't spend our lives in laboratories, either molecular or cytogenetic. A recent issue of the BMJ (28 April 2001) was entirely devoted to new advances in genetics. This focused on its current and potential impact on medicine. However, the specialty of clinical genetics remains a mystery. The role of the clinical geneticist One of the best kept secrets in medicine is the wide variety of issues covered by clinical genetics. It is one of the last truly generalised specialties, encompassing both adult and paediatric medicine. It is also unique in the approach to caring for families as well as individuals within a family. The Clinical Genetics Society recently issued a document summarising the roles of clinical geneticists. These include Diagnosis of genetic disorders affecting all ages and all body systems, birth defects, and developmental disorders

Public Health Genetics Home Alumni Biostatistics Environmental Health Sciences Epidemiology ... and Policy Messages from Public Health Genetics Alumni Charlie Krafchak MPH '02 Epidemiology "The IC was an extremely valuable piece of my education in the School of Public Health. It opened the door for me to start my career in genetics and genetic research. When I got to the School of public Health I had no idea what I was going to do with my degree. The IC introduced me to the world of genetics and provided me with a framework that has allowed me to pursue and win an NIH training grant through the Human Genome Research Institute. The coursework and the student interaction through seminars that made up the IC have been invaluable to me as I worked my way through school and chose the path that my career would take. While I have always had a great interest in genetics, the IC exposed me to what genetics in public health really is. It helped me to focus my interests in genetics and most importantly the interaction with the concepts in genetics as well as with others interested in genetics has opened doors for me that I'm not sure would have been there without the help of the IC. I would strongly encourage anyone who is considering a career in any aspect of genetics to join the IC. I wouldn't want to start a career in public health genetics without it. "

Explore the World of Agricultural Science on Careers in Agricultural Science Agricultural Economist Agricultural Engineer Agronomist Animal Nutritionist ... Wood Scientist Agricultural Econ omist Agricultural economists have management-related jobs in agribusiness firms. They use modern analytical management tools to make profitable decisions. Agricultural economists do financial analysis, develop marketing plans, and set up optimal production schedules in U.S. and international food and fiber firms. They often begin their careers in management or production operations or as sales representatives, then progressively take on increasing responsibility for decision-making. Most agricultural economists spend a great deal of their work lives analyzing alternative decisions. Agribusiness firms that provide such things as feed, seed, fertilizer or capital, and those that process and distribute agricultural products, employ agricultural economists. Feed, seed, and fertilizer firms; rural banks; and input cooperatives employ agricultural economists to manage their operations. Many agricultural economists work for wholesale and retail food processing firms. To become an agricultural economist you need an interest in and ability to make analytical decisions. You need to learn economic theory, mathematics, computer skills, and modern decision-making tools in finance, marketing, and management. Most agribusiness firms require graduates with bachelor's degrees, although some prefer to hire people who have earned master's degrees.

Genetics: You Are Unique This lesson developed by Reach Out! Guiding Question What are some of my inherited traits? Objectives Concepts Genetics is the study of inherited traits. Inherited refers to traits you get from your parents. Traits are personal characteristics. Principles Every person has his or her own looks, traits, and characteristics. Every person is unique Some traits are inherited. Facts Traits and characteristics are often genetic, or passed on to you from your parents. You may have some traits like your mother, some like your father and some like both your father and your mother. Skills Observation skills Documentation skills Research skills Oral presentation skills Materials Hand-Out Pencil Room Preparation No special needs Safety Precautions No special needs Procedures and Activity Introduction Look around our group. Is anyone else here just like you? Every person you know, or ever will know, is unique. No two people are just alike (even identical twins). Today, we are going to identify some of our genetic or inherited traits. Then you will go home and see if your parents have the same traits. If you have a trait, then usually at least one of your parents will, too.

Industry Career Profiles Science fact is infinitely more positive and only slightly less amazing than science fiction. Life, as we know it, is a function of the genetic codes that all living things carry in nearly every cell of their structures. The science of genetics is nothing less than understanding the most intimate secrets of life. An explosion of knowledge and increased successes in molecular biology has meant that many problems considered formidable just a decade or so ago are now being or on their way to being solved. Molecular biologists have contributed to an ever increasing understanding of the origin of the human species; to the creation of genetically engineered new drugs; and to the sequencing of the entire genome of a variety of species, including disease-causing micro-organisms, agriculturally important plants, and the human organism itself. What is Genetics and Molecular Biology? Genetics is the science of heredity. By understanding the mechanisms which govern the way genetic information is received and expressed by individual organisms during their life and also how it is passed onto succeeding generations,scientists are increasingly able to understand the biochemical processes of all living things. Geneticists study what genes are, how they are duplicated and transferred, and how they change by mutation and selection during evolution. Genetics is a component of virtually every area of biology and can be found in many subfields within biology including; evolution, behaviour genetics, developmental biology, cytogenetics, population genetics, clinical and molecular genetics.
