BARBARA OAKLEY Explorations in mind and place
WorksEvil Genes is a unique non-fiction thriller inspired in part by author Barbara Oakley's unusual sister, an amoral woman who died under mysterious circumstances. Underlying the work is Oakley's scientific training and research related to medical imaging and genetics—precisely the areas where important breakthroughs in brain research are being made. Harvard psychology professor and author Steven Pinker called the concepts laid out in Evil Genes "fascinating."
Bioengineering and biotechnology are exploding—the number of career opportunities is expected to increase twice as fast as for other science and engineering fields over the next decade. Bioengineers and biotechnologists have enormous potential to meet employment needs ranging from traditional careers in science and engineering through a host of alternative career pathways.
This book provides a road map to the broad and varied career development opportunities in bioengineering, biotechnology, and related fields. Eminent practitioners lay out career paths related to academia, industry, government and regulatory affairs, healthcare, law, marketing, entrepreneurship, and more. ISBN: 0387764941 Barbara Oakley's riveting portrayal of espionage, lust, comic adventure, hard work—and harder drinking—brings to life a little-known episode of American history when two cold-warring nations got together to fish the north Pacific. Oakley proved to be a resourceful Russian translator—one who could silence the KGB with a squirt gun or handle a mob of drunken Russians seeking nirvana at K-Mart in downtown Portland. She is an equally imaginative author who has provided one of those rarest of book finds: a reflection upon an unknown world; and entertaining tale of adventure; and a thought-provoking examination of the intertwining consequences of fanaticism, greed, and opportunity.
