Pic of the Day: Proteus mirabilis colonies

Dr. James Shapiro is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago. He is a bacterial geneticist whose research covers what he calls “natural genetic engineering”, in which organisms may actively restructure their genomes in response to environmental stresses, particularly through the action of mobile genetic elements. He also studies pattern formation during colony growth and, from the beginning, he has appreciated the artistic quality of colonies and the important scientific message that they contain about multicellular regulation.

This Yahoo article highlights how medical technology is one of the 10 college majors with the lowest unemployment rate! More proof of how great a career in the Medical Laboratory can be.

The 10 college majors with the lowest unemployment rates College students, take note: There are at least six fields of study whose graduates are virtually 100 percent employed right now. That's right--certain majors, such as pharmacology, produce graduates who face a zero percent unemployment rate. That's not bad considering last month's joblessness rate ...
