Our series of genetics interviews continues this week with another impressive scientist, Dr. Alex Palazzo of The Daily Transcript. Alex is a cell biologist currently at Harvard Medical School studying RNA and the endoplasmic reticulum. If you keep your eyes on his blog, he has some amazing pictures of these cellular components. His […]
The Genetics and Health interviews are going along splendidly. I’m so grateful to all the wonderful people who’ve participated so far. Today, I have a person no less awesome than the ones before, Dr. Deborah Serani of Psychological Perspectives.
Dr. Serani and I have been friends for a while now starting way back when […]

Not just one of a scientist looking down on the world through her laboratory window, but also one of the world looking in on the lab. This series of genetics interviews will include scientists (some […]

In celebration of Baldiness joining Genetics and Health in the b5media Science and Health Channel, this week’s genetics quote is about baldness from Your Genes Unzipped by Tim Spector.
For men, a good guide to future baldness is to look at your father and ask about your grandfathers. If both grandfathers had a reasonable head of […]

A recent study of mice has found 3,800 unique genes that vary between high and low amounts of voluntary alcohol consumption. Sorting this large number of genes into functional groups implicated:
