Written for a lay audience, Your Genes, Your Choices, provides accurate information about the Human Genome Project and genetic research in an easy-to-read and understand style and format. Each chapter in the book begins with a brief vignette, which introduces an issue within a human story, and raises a question for the reader to think about as the basic science and information are presented in the rest of the chapter. Now in its second edition, Your Genes, Your Choices has been widely disseminated in print and online. It has also been translated into several other languages, including Spanish and Icelandic.

Science in the Media

For nearly 30 years, the Mass Media Science and Engineering Fellowship Program places advanced undergraduate and graduate students with newspaper, television, and radio stations for a 10-week summer experience. In doing so, the program increases coverage of science-related issues in the media and enhances the skills of the students in communicating complex scientific information to the public. Mass Program alumni include Eric Lander, one of the principal leaders of the Human Genome Project and director of the Whitehead Institute's Center for Genome Research.
