Introduction to DMIT Dermatoglyphics is the study of patterns on ingers and hands. These patterns appear during the third or fourth month of fetal development and are unique to every individual. They are linked to our genetic composition and nervous system. According to over 7000 research papers and reports by various scientists, it is found that the human brain is closely related to ingerprint patterns. Hence, the analysis of ingerprints is used worldwide to reveal an individual’s innate personality, talents, traits, preferences and potential. Dermatoglyphics is a proven scientiic study of ingerprints that combines neurobiology, genetics, brain science and embryology with clinical studies. The results of this assessment can greatly help in achieving personal, education and career success. It is empowering to know ones’ inborn talents, intelligences, strengths and weaknesses, so that relevant efforts can be taken at the right time and learning becomes pleasurable and effective.

It is time once again for a new issue of the Precambrian Basement. For good or for bad, it is the last one that will include a letter from me as Chair of the department. After three and a half years of herding cats and signing forms, I am retreating back to the life of a ‘gentleman scholar’. I won’t say I will miss the job, but I will admit that it has been a really good learning experience. In particular being Chair has given me an opportunity to learn what current students think of their studies, what alumni have been doing since leaving CC, and what my colleagues have been doing behind my back. The most recent example of how being Chair can be a learning experience came in the form of our recent External Review. In preparation for this review, I spent a lot of time gathering student & alumni survey data (thanks to all of you who participated!), going over graduation statistics, reading curriculum vita of the faculty, tapping Eric’s ‘institutional memory’, and putting everything into a summary document for the external reviewers to consider prior to their visit.
