Careers In Genetics Research - Cell Biology
Genes have enormous potential, and the people charged with the awesome task of realizing that potential are called geneticists. It is the geneticist's job to learn how genes contribute to human development, to track how they pass from generation to generation, to identify the effects of genetic abnormalities on disease, and to study all of the potential applications for genes. Their work in laboratories, hospitals, biotechnology firms, and private practices around the world are transforming what was once science fiction into science reality. Imagine designing medications to fit an individual's genetic make-up, breeding cows that produce protein-fortified milk to feed malnourished children, or preventing a disease before its potential victim is even born. Genetics is a relatively new field, but over the past couple of decades, it has exploded to accommodate a wealth of new technologies and research directions. With this expansion has come a huge boom in job opportunities - from research, to counseling, to careers that meld genetics and computer science.

Spirituality and Health Research
In Spirituality and Health Research: Methods, Measurement, Statistics, and Resources, Dr. Harold G. Koenig leads a comprehensive overview of this complex subject. Dr. Koenig is one of the world’s leading authorities on the relationship between spirituality and health, and a leading researcher on the topic. As such, he is distinctively qualified to author such a book. This unique source of information on how to conduct research on religion, spirituality, and health includes practical information that goes well beyond what is typically taught in most undergraduate, graduate, or even post-doctoral level courses. This volume reviews what research has been done, discusses the strengths and limitations of that research, provides a research agenda for the future that describes the most important studies that need to be done to advance the field, and describes how to actually conduct that research (design, statistical analysis, and publication of results). It also covers practical matters such as how to write fundable grants to support the research, where to find sources of funding support for research in this area, and what can be done even if the researcher has little or no funding support. The information gathered together here, which has been reviewed for accuracy and comprehensiveness by research design and statistical experts, has been acquired during a span of over twenty-five years that Dr. Koenig spent conducting research, reviewing others’ research, reviewing research grants, and interacting with mainstream biomedical researchers both within and outside the field of spirituality and health. The material is presented in an easy to read and readily accessible form that will benefit researchers at almost any level of training and experience.
