National Institute of General Medical Sciences Findings March 2005
FINDINGMarchS 2005 inside Andrés García The Forces That Bind 3 Hilary Godwin Getting the Lead Out 9 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences Edited by Alison Davis under contract 263-MD-409758 Produced by the Office of Communications and Public Liaison National Institute of General Medical Sciences National Institutes of Health On the Cover Photo of Andrés García: Nicole Cappello Photo of Hilary Godwin: Matthew Gilson Editor’s Note Should scientists genetically engineer grains to have extra vitamins? Is it okay for a couple to choose the sex of their baby? Should a 17-year-old girl whose aunt had breast cancer get a genetic test? No one can claim to have the “right” answer to these or countless other questions that meet at the intersection of science and society. Yet all of us should be comfortable ask ing them and knowing where to find more information to develop an opinion based on the available facts. Does that mean we should spend most of our free time in the library, reading scientific texts and journals? Should we become scientists or doctors? These actions are not absolutely necessary for developing a critical mind. Of course, there are a great many things to be said for reading about science and going to graduate school. But have you ever thought about spending some time doing research in a lab? It’s a fun, hands-on way to learn. If you’d like to give it a try, contact your local college or university and ask about research programs for high school students. -
