I thought you might be interested to know that Science Magazine featured an article on my foundational work with Bioethics International and career path from physics to bioethics.

 

Snippet from my interview: In late 2001, Jennifer Miller was on track to become a physicist. "My dream was to work for NASA and go to Mars," says Miller... She was flying high--so high that when she received an e-mail invitation to speak at a 2-day stem-cell bioethics conference in Rome, she proudly agreed. She knew a little bit about stem cells, she says, and she figured that they wanted a young person's perspective. "I call it innocence, naïveté, hubris--I don't know." As she arranged her travel, rescheduled her final exams, and boarded the plane, she never had an inkling of the truth: The invitation was an error. Miller attended the closed-door conference anyhow... She heard scientists, philosophers, theologians, and policymakers discuss cutting-edge stem cell technologies and their ethical ramifications. "I loved it," she says, but "I was unsettled." Who would have access to these new, lifesaving technologies... Would the new technologies make the world a better place or more unjust? "An invention itself is good usually," she says, "but it's how we use it and apply it and distribute it that can cause some inequalities."

Also noteworthy, last week I was a guest on Bill & Rich in the morning on KwKy Radio and of course most of you are already aware of the CBS interview on cloning last month.  Thank you for your support be assured that mine is with you as well.

 

My best to you,
