Improving Genetics and Health

by Hsien Hsien Lei, PhD on October 5th, 2006

Genetics and Health has spent about a year here under the umbrella of b5media. It’s been a truly fabulous year spent obsessing over studying genetics and the implications for our lives now and in the future. In the next year, I hope we’ll be able to kick it up a notch to improve your visit to Genetics and Health with the help of the $2 million in funding b5media just received.

My purpose in writing Genetics and Health hasn’t changed too much since the beginning. I want to let everyone know that genetics isn’t just some esoteric science that has no bearing on everyday life. DNA information is already impacting people’s lives dramatically whether it be from identifying victims of 9/11, cloning pets, shaping a person’s diet, improving drug efficacy, offering reproductive options,…the list goes on and on. Genetics matters.

Can you help me improve Genetics and Health? Tell me either in the comments or by email:

1. What do you like about Genetics and Health? Any particular feature or series?
2. What do you think is boring about Genetics and Health?
3. What would you like to see more of at Genetics and Health?

Thank you for visiting today, tomorrow, and every day. :)

NB: Other blogs in the b5media Science and Health Channel are also sharing their mission statements today and asking for your feedback. The complete round-up is over at Lively Women.
