Bio

I am a Geneticist by training but have had a broader interest in the social impact of genetics, in part because I myself have a rare genetic condition. My specialty is Bio-informatics. I have looked at ways of classifying sequence data according to tm values and base richness, and also looked at building models of how genes interact with each other (This is the Polygenic Expression Model). In 2000 I developed software to do this using Delphi/Kylix Pascal and Assembler. In terms of the social side of genetics I do have an interest in the history of various ideas that surrounded the subject.

Internships

We do offer unpaid internships in programming and science journalism to college students or recent graduates seeking to build up their portfolios.

Development interns will need to be proficient in PHP and CSS and provide samples of work done in a multi-user environment platform and sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Science journalists will need to provide samples from a university newspaper or professional publication and list which semester they want to work.
