It's probably not your fault. The main&lt;br /&gt;reason is that you're not getting enough traffic&lt;br /&gt;to your website. You have to get the traffic&lt;br /&gt;before any of the other factors come into play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are like most online entrepreneurs, you've&lt;br /&gt;been mislead about HOW to generate more traffic to&lt;br /&gt;your website.  You've read course after course on the&lt;br /&gt;topic, but those courses were often ghostwritten by&lt;br /&gt;individuals who were totally clueless about website&lt;br /&gt;traffic generation and inbound marketing strategies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big name gurus often described  the course that they&lt;br /&gt;wanted written on outsourcing sites, and then went&lt;br /&gt;with the lowest bidder on the writing project.  Then&lt;br /&gt;they hawked their courses  through some hyped-up&lt;br /&gt;product  launch, where most of those selling the&lt;br /&gt;course didn't even bother to read it, and notice the flaws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been in business online for a few years&lt;br /&gt;because I have learned how important it is to successfully&lt;br /&gt;generate massive free traffic to my sites. I've done this&lt;br /&gt;primarily through generating "content" - mainly articles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your customers go online looking for solutions to their problems.&lt;br /&gt;When you have lots of content scattered across cyberspace, &lt;br /&gt;your customers find what you've shared, read or listen to it,&lt;br /&gt;and then click through to your site. They arrive at your site&lt;br /&gt;pre-sold on YOU and ready to buy your products.  It's as simple&lt;br /&gt;as that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;This has worked for over a dozen years, and continues to work&lt;br /&gt;great today. The only changes have been that now multi-media&lt;br /&gt;(video, and audio) are a very necessary part of the content mix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;What's also changed is that you now need more articles, videos,&lt;br /&gt;audios, and press releases to break through the clutter and get noticed.&lt;br /&gt;In some niches, you have to publish dozens, maybe even hundreds&lt;br /&gt;of articles, to become the dominant expert.  Then you need to get your&lt;br /&gt;content out to the top article directories, video sharing sites, podcast&lt;br /&gt;sites, and press release sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That sounds like a huge job, and without automation it is! However,&lt;br /&gt;there are sites where you upload your content to a server, select&lt;br /&gt;which sites you want it submitted to, click the submit button,&lt;br /&gt;and it's taken care of.  This allows you to do in about 2 minutes&lt;br /&gt;what it would take you hours to do manually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I personally use and recommend Easy Push Button Traffic. Easy&lt;br /&gt;Push Button Traffic currently costs 1/4 as much as it's leading competitor,&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Geyser, and works beautifully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Easy Push Button Traffic, you can submit an unlimited&lt;br /&gt;number of articles, videos, podcasts, and press releases each month&lt;br /&gt;for one low price.  Other sites issue you so many credits per month - NOT&lt;br /&gt;unlimited submissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easy Push Button Traffic is also 100% whitehat.  They do not encourage&lt;br /&gt;you to do things such as spinning content, or submitting the same&lt;br /&gt;content multiple times with different titles.  The sites that you submit&lt;br /&gt;to eventually catch on to this type of nonsense, and then they will&lt;br /&gt;ban you, then all of your work will be for nothing. EPBT encourages&lt;br /&gt;you to think long-term, and focus on having a steady flow of quality traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are no big secrets to website traffic generation. I have&lt;br /&gt;found the easiest ways to generate free traffic though, and it's&lt;br /&gt;"standing in front of the traffic" by generating lots of content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at Easy Push Button Traffic now.  Since you're my subscriber, or&lt;br /&gt;have found your way to my website, I've got a special deal for you. &lt;br /&gt;When you use this link, you can get in for only $1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.easypushbuttontraffic.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=180" mce_href="http://www.easypushbuttontraffic.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=180"&gt;EASY PUSH BUTTON TRAFFIC SPECIAL &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The $1 special is not mentioned anywhere on the&lt;br /&gt;website.  But use the link above, then when you click&lt;br /&gt;through to the order form, you'll see the $1 special&lt;br /&gt;offer.  I'm not sure how long that special will last,&lt;br /&gt;so go ahead and get in now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go ahead and turn up your traffic, and sales, today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.easypushbuttontraffic.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=180" mce_href="http://www.easypushbuttontraffic.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=180"&gt;EASY PUSH BUTTON TRAFFIC SPECIAL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;To your success,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gregory&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6531488077976445696-5790107509735788757?l=bioanswers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/feeds/5790107509735788757/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6531488077976445696&amp;postID=5790107509735788757' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/5790107509735788757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/5790107509735788757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/2009/08/get-ton-of-free-website-traffic-today.html' title='Get A Ton of Free Website Traffic Today!'/><author><name>Gregory I.

This strategy isn't a new one, since joint ventures are really leveraging strengths for some economic, political or social goal. This process in many cases is facilitated by a JV broker or specialist, who provides the service of bridging the gap between the passionate product owner,  the large list holder and the customer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The critical problem that that approach solves is that for many new product owners the major limitation they have is a large customer base. List owners or JV partners don’t have this problem. Their problem is a little different more in the form of whose product do I want to promote, yours or mine? The main question that I am often asked is, how do you go about finding JV partners? The answer isn't a simple one, but properly matching the product and product owner with the partners area of expertise and e-mail list profile is one of the first steps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key issue here is that this matching process forms part of what any good marketer seeks to achieve anyway, whether in the B2B or B2C space is really no surprise. The trick really is in the tools that are used to achieve that goal. Knowing what the JV partners interests are and communicating relevant information to them through your blog posts, comments on their websites, membership sites, groups etc, is the norm. This approach becomes even more important in very competitive niches, where message dilution is a constant threat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bearing this in mind, putting in place simple and readily available and visible social web tools and leveraging the back end technology that optimizes for the search engines, is a significant advance to help you communicate more directly with your prospects, customers, vendors and clients. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is safe to say that Inbound marketing as apart of the marketing matrix is here to stay and as a business strategy, it prepares your customers to be receptive to your offering, by adding more value. Understanding how to harness inbound marketing tools and technology is therefore a necessity, before, during and after JV partnership formation.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6531488077976445696-791103822525676452?l=bioanswers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/feeds/791103822525676452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6531488077976445696&amp;postID=791103822525676452' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/791103822525676452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/791103822525676452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/2009/05/jv-partnerships-and-inbound-marketing.html' title='JV Partnerships and Inbound Marketing (Part 2 of 3)'/><author><name>Gregory I.

Unlike off-line businesses, the challenges of growing an online business, rests squarely in two areas. First, understanding how to attract web traffic to the website and second to establish online credibility, but lets focus a bit on the former. The issue of website traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A POWERFUL EXAMPLE&lt;br /&gt;The success of Google as a search engine platform, for example, rests on that company's ability to continuously out compete and out perform new and older search engine companies, in continuously attracting a steady flow of traffic. Alexa.com reports that global search engine traffic over the last 3 months, from January  to March 2009, sees Google.com with a traffic rank of 1 has 30.85%, Yahoo.com  26.54% and MSN live.com with 19.33%. To put this data in perspective internetworldstats.com reports that there are 1,596,270,108 internet users globally and of these 30.85% of there online search activities goes through google.com!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's all well and good, if you are google, yahoo or msn, but for an individual with a websites and a product to market through that website, the likelihood of receiving even 0.00001% of that traffic is a major undertaking. Achieving that goal would require really good search engine optimization strategies, building social networks (i.e twitter, facebook, myspace etc), running ad campaigns, and e-mail campaigns to name a few. Again to put this into perspective, according to alexa.com the website luxurylaunches.com, with a traffic rank of 64,281, sees just over 0.002% of all global web traffic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE PURPOSE OF YOUR WEBSITE&lt;br /&gt;Websites are designed to achieve wide and varied goals, based on the niche, the content, the type of audience etc. Understanding how to bring traffic to a web site, for what ever reason is therefore the key behind successful websites and the down fall of others. For simplicity however we can reduce the over arching goals of a website to three key objectives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) To provide a continuous flow of quality information to visitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) To gain information about your customer or visitor, i.e. e-mail and physical addresses, telephone numbers, product tastes and preferences etc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) To facilitate a commercial transaction for goods and services i.e. digital products (software, electronic books, audio books, music, etc), physical products (cars, appliances, clothing etc), membership sites and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem is that, with a new product or service in hand ready for marketing online, you probably don't have any traffic coming to your site. This creates the perfect opportunity for you to begin looking for a JV partnership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE INTERNET JOINT VENTURE&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of an internet joint venture (JV for short) is to harness or leverage traffic coming to a website with products that visitors to that site would be willing to take 1 of the 3 above action.&lt;br /&gt;From a theoretical point  of view, the joint venture is based on what has been described as the so called "1 (JV Client) to 1 (JV partner) to X (target audience) model". In which one client with a single product or group of products, partners with a large list holder or JV partner, to gain access to a specific customer base that can range from thousands to millions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds simple doesn't it? And it is once you understand the rules, the objectives of the client, the partner and the needs of the online consumer. As the number of internet users has grown, so has the opportunity and need for product owners to want to form joint venture partnerships to strengthen their product's position in a very competitive market place. In the next article we will tackle the anatomy of an internet joint venture.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6531488077976445696-3596089005189863396?l=bioanswers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/feeds/3596089005189863396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6531488077976445696&amp;postID=3596089005189863396' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/3596089005189863396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/3596089005189863396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/2009/04/understanding-internet-marketing-joint.html' title='Understanding the Internet Marketing Joint Venture Process - Part 1 of 3'/><author><name>Gregory I.

For autoimmune diseases like SLE, finding suitable pharmaceutical or alternative medicinal approaches to control these major types of conditions has been a task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, herbs such as the Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii or combinations of herbs with dandelion, yellowdock, echinacea, and garlic have had mixed results for SLE. In many cases with little or no scientific evidence to support the claims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the same time, the use and regulation of nutraceuticals, functional foods herbal supplements and alternative medicinal approaches to control weight, treat addiction, cancer, hypertension, autism etc has steadily grown. Such as the DSHEA 1994 and subsequent dietary supplement Acts for example. With these approaches, the growth and complexity of the alternative health products market has increased exponentially. Also facilitated by medical breakthroughs and an emphasis on disease prevention!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the 2008 Global Spa Summit in New York, reports were presented which estimate the global size of the Spa Industry to be $60B, $194B in spa-related hospitality, tourism and real estate and a further $700B when taking into account beauty, nutrition (supplements, diet, teas) and fitness! So there are regulatory issues to deal with, products to ensure pass those hurdles and online markets to access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 Questions to Answer before a Product Launch&lt;br /&gt;Well that’s all great news, but you’ve just spent 6-12 months developing a product to market and sell online to a health &amp;amp; Wellness niche, so how are you going to get in front of the customers or clients in the niche?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s say for arguments sake you have a product or system for SLE (I would love to take a look at it if you do!) or you have a program for weight loss. You are now ready to launch online. Or are you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 5 major problems you are likely to face as you move forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 1 Does the product have a large market size?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 2 Who is buying similar products and what are the online triggers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 3 Do you have customers already or do you need a JV partner?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 4 Do you have the back end systems, platforms and support in place to attract the right Joint Venture partners?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 5 How will you manage your relationships with your JV partner, sales affiliates and customers as you roll out your launch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Significant opportunities for new products and services in the Health and Wellness (H&amp;amp;W) niche exit. However, delivering the right product to the right customer using online marketing strategies, requires you to answer, plan for and solve each of those five questions clearly. The next step is then to act decisively to get your product in the hands of buying customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JV Brokers Do What?&lt;br /&gt;Marketing and sales online require very different approaches to minimize risk and maximize profit before, during and after a product launch. Some of the fundamental principles do remain the same, but the platforms that they are delivered through are quite different. Simply put, JV brokers match product owners with large list holders or “super affiliates” and spend a great deal of time, energy, effort and resources ensuring that both parties achieve their stated objectives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a JV Broker, myself, specializing in the Health &amp;amp; Wellness niche, my job is to review, access, test and properly match your products with the right partner, before the launch. We provide the back-end research and infra-structure needed to access JV partners. The key services that are provided by JV Brokers to product owners are,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Evaluating the product(s) developed for the online market you are targeting,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Putting in place the right back-end systems to efficiently communicate and deliver your product to the customer and finally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Getting your product matched with the right JV partners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gregory I.

My response to her was "I can’t understand that stuff!" Her response to me was “If it’s in a book and you can read, you can do it” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve never forgotten that statement and that led me to pursue and eventually obtain a PhD in Chemistry. You see, I enjoy learning, researching, teaching science, but it was never easy for me, in fact I can honestly say that I was never really the brightest bulb in class (if you know what I mean). But enough about me!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if you could take a seemingly complex peer-reviewed science, say from a journal like Nature, Science, Cell, or the Journal of Organic Chemistry and figure out what some of the best scientists in the world are doing and writing about? Would that help you build confidence in chemistry or biology or physics? Could it improve your grades? Would it impress your parents or employer? or improve your college entrance chances?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you answered yes to any of these questions then, 7 tips to reading peer-reviewed science journals can help.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;1.    Fear is not an option&lt;br /&gt;There are so many resources out there that practically any topic, technique, problem or question can be researched. Knowing how to filter the information is the critical first step in the process and being afraid to explore the information won’t help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.    Identify the animal or cell model used to study the problem&lt;br /&gt;In order to figure out a problem in chemistry or biology or physics, scientists use a model to mimic the system they want to study. This is usually the most difficult develop and has proven to be the down fall of many a good research project and research scientists. However, the more closely the model is to the system being investigated the easier it is to make changes, observe results and explain what is happening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.    Identify the measurement tool used to study the problem&lt;br /&gt;Without an appropriate measurement tool to study a problem, results can be meaningless. For example if you needed to weigh an item to the nearest milligram it is pointless to use a scale that measures to the nearest kilogram. Identifying the measuring tool or tools that are used in an experiment helps you understand the level of accuracy and precision the researchers are working with to solve a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.    Identify the gene or protein being studied&lt;br /&gt;This is an important step in the process, simply because without this knowledge     understanding a disease condition or biological process is next to impossible. Modern medical research spends an extraordinary amount of time and money studying the genes and proteins involved in disease and therefore learning about these large molecules is fundamental. There are incredible resources on line to help you discover what a specific gene(s) or protein(s) does and from that information you can work towards understanding how it relates to the research topic you are studying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.    Don’t be afraid of the words&lt;br /&gt;If you think about how you were taught English, French, or Spanish you started slowly to build your understanding of the words, there meaning, how they are used in sentences, then phrases, then paragraphs and so on. Scientific jargon is exactly like learning a new language and it takes time and patience. What you must be willing to do is learn the new words as they pop up in the article and dig a little deeper to gain more knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.    Be bold when reading and summarizing the information in the paper&lt;br /&gt;The best scientists in the world are constantly reviewing other peoples science and people are constantly reviewing there science. Writing out what you think is going on is a part of the learning process and you shouldn't worry about the fine details, there will always be plenty of help available to help you refine your understanding of the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.    Identify the scientific hypothesis&lt;br /&gt;For most students this is the single most difficult task to overcome and the reason is simple. In our early years of education students are often taught that a scientific hypothesis posed as a question. This is never the case. A scientific hypothesis is always, always presented as a statement, but more important it is a statement that is testable and can be made shown to be true or false through experimentation, data collection and analysis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I really enjoy about science is that no matter how much you think you know there is always something else to learn. Learning to read the science is however a critical first step in the process!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours in Science,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gregory I.

The objective of this mentorship has been to help her develop critical thinking skills in the biological sciences. By examining complex biological and chemical concepts and processes in a specific disease, she has been exposed to some of the core skills, need to understand research in the biological sciences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The strategy was quite simple, requiring her to select a disease with which she was most interested and then, using a peer reviewed journal, systematically apply web-based bioinformatics tools to gain a hands on understanding of how to,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Identify and describe scientific hypothesis under investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Identify and analyze genes and proteins in peer reviewed biological research and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Compile and present the information obtained by the above processes in the form a short paper and a presentation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The paper we have been studying together appeared in the Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in August 2008 and was authored by Alexander H. Stegh and co-workers (1). This paper explored the mechanisms by which the Bcl2L12 (short for B-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma 2- Like 12) gene regulates apoptotic and necrotic events in cell models  (in vitro) and mouse models (in vivo) of an aggressive brain cancer called Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). Although, much of the research conducted in this paper is well beyond the scope of the student (and myself for that matter!), there are a few simple identifiers that we can use to build student confidence in a complex scientific area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By pointing this student in the direction of the information, through a guided reading approach, the student has built her scientific vocabulary, learnt a few simple ways to read complex scientific material, and applied web-based bioinformatics tools to increase her understanding of the particular research area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m looking forward to her final report and presentation. Hopefully, she will gain a better sense of what’s possible in the world of biological research!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be continued.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Gregory I.

To cut costs, big pharmaceutical companies are reducing their work force and research efforts instead of teaming up with biotech startups for drug discovery, the agency said"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was the heading of a Top story published in The Times (London) on 10-27-2008, an indication of how significant the global financial crisis has become. Jobs in the biotechnology field are generally higher paying and safer than most. This statement is based primarily on the fact that the technical skills required are so unique and difficult to obtain to begin with, that loss of these skills within the industry are a deterrent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said there are two critical issues to consider when choosing a profession. First is whether or not that profession has long term growth potential and that there are few barriers to progressing in the field.  Second, how will adding other skills increase your potential to excel and grow in the profession economically and intellectually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the case of biotechnology, the field itself is divided into many, many subspecialties, ranging from agricultural biotechnology-both plant and animal for food as well as the floral/horticultural and pet industries (we'll explore those at another time)- therapeutic protein manufacture, stem cell and gene therapy strategies and the application of engineered microorganisms in waste management, biofuel and ethanol (alternative fuels) production and probably most important and most accessible, the application of computers and computing in managing biological data (bioinformatics).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The diversity and complexity of the discipline however, is premised on the new employee having a thorough understanding of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  What genes and proteins are from a biological and chemical perspective&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  How these genes and proteins can be manipulated/engineered for a specific purpose and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. How large scale manufacturing is controlled (Quality Control/Quality Assurance field) to ensure safe delivery of products to the consumer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These three key elements are the backbone of the biotech industry and provide strong long term growth potential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the second point that of skills training, knowledge of biology and chemistry, regardless of the profession you eventually end up in or are in now, are significant skills necessary in today's modern society. Understanding the core concepts in chemistry and biology provides an entry point into not only the scientific and engineering professions, but also creates a greater depth of understanding, in the broader and more familiar areas of investment, management, law, the movie industry and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is yet one more key area that you need to be aware of as you proceed in the direction of a biotech career. At  least in the USA, the gradually increasing understanding and application of genetic information in medicine, medical diagnostics, patient management and treatment, makes having this knowledge critical in personal healthcare decisions. Fortunately or unfortunately, this knowledge is shaping the way in which healthcare insurance will change in the future. The concept of personalized medicine being the corner stone of this change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turning our attention back to the article in the London Times, we notice that workforce reduction and cut backs in R&amp;amp;D investment are strategies to manage operating overhead, stabilize cash flow and optimize profitability. The fact is that every industry is now faced with the same set of decisions, where to cut back spending and consolidate, and if you are an investor, where to invest or not to invest to maximize gains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As this global credit scenario begins to normalize over time, the market for biotech skills will continue to grow. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Properly positioning yourself for your next career step is what it's all about and the field of biotechnology still will remain fertile ground for the forward thinking!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read the full article at http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/health/article5019212.ece&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours in success,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Gregory I.

The event held on Tuesday November 11th 2008, was sponsored by the Broad Institute, the Whitehead Institute, the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and the Biotechnology Institute.  Lots of heavy wait scientists, science and discussion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The event was fantastic, presenting a broad range of issues including;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. How to include Stem cell biology in the high school teaching curricula (the most difficult issue to address),&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cutting edge research being conducted now and the rapidly evolving clinical applications, &lt;/span&gt;presented by Rick Young (Whitehead Institute), Debra Auguste (Harvard) and Harvey Lodish (Whitehead Institute) and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. The ethical and legal ramifications of the science now and in the future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was clear that participant's, although excited about the field and willing to introduce the concepts to their students, were mindful of the glaring obstacles to delivery easily in the near term. Challenges in imparting the science as well as overcoming social and ethical barriers to the science were all raised as significant issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foremost on the teacher’s minds however, seemed to be the strategies that would be needed to teach the concepts within the scope of the MCAS framework. The second appeared to be ensuring that the teacher's were able to gain access to the type of knowledge needed to teach the subject in an age appropriate way. And third, the identification of suitable experiments and access to relevant literature that could excite and provide unique learning opportunities for both students and teachers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were given tours of both the Broad and the Whitehead and were provided with a unique opportunity to see some of the automated technologies driving biological research. What also crossed my mind was the critical need for CRITICAL THINKERS at these levels. The high through technologies now used in research, both in industry and academia, are driving the need for creative thinkers and the point was continuously stressed that the middle and high school level is were this process starts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm looking forward to further engagements and activities with these groups of teachers, researchers and communications experts over the up coming months.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6531488077976445696-8770938278878729410?l=bioanswers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/feeds/8770938278878729410/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6531488077976445696&amp;postID=8770938278878729410' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/8770938278878729410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/8770938278878729410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/2008/11/stem-cell-biology-for-hs-teachers.html' title='Stem Cell Biology for HS Teachers'/><author><name>Gregory I.

Or has it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On May 22, 2007 a story written by Dawn Kawamoto and reported in CNET News, headlined "Google invests $3.9 million in biotech start-up". The question is why has Google Inc, so heavily invested in information technology turned to the biotech industry as another possibly lucrative business opportunity?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To answer that question we need look no further than the types of information technologies needed to unravel, analyze, process and present data from the genomes of numerous plant and animal species. Google's mission "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" fits perfectly with the scientific needs of the biotech industry i.e Genomic data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us look at the human genome to understand a little more about what this actually means. The human genome consists of 3164.7 million (~3.2 billion) chemical nucleotide bases. Without all the bells and whistles, this means that to interpret and understand this information, you need&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * computer processing power,&lt;br /&gt;   * database management capability,&lt;br /&gt;   * database security technology and&lt;br /&gt;   * expertise in web-based platforms and lots of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The use of this collective computing power in the analysis of genomic or more broadly described, biological information is called Bioinformatics. This rapidly growing field of biotechnology has opened an avenue for web-based information technology companies and individuals willing to learn and use on-line and stand alone software platforms to process the huge amounts of biological data being generated, globally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is that the business of biotechnology as it evolves is inextricably linked to the business of information technology, with more and more players entering the sub discipline of bioinformatics annually. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Gregory I.

The legislation was signed into law on June 16, 2008 and was the result of numerous stake holder meetings, discussions, and bi-partisan con-census. This bill focuses on several key areas to stimulate the life science industry within the Commonwealth, including and most significantly to educators, workforce training. The idea is to simply grow jobs in the life sciences sector in Massachusetts, by improving standards of teaching, scholarship and training. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Coupled to this has been the Governor's resent introduction of an Education Action Agenda which will seek to reform the States education system by 2020. The really great news about the new life science legislation, is the benefit it will create for students interested in entering the life sciences arena. In fact, we have already seen an incredible explosion in the expansion of science, particularly biology and biotechnology programs in community, state and private colleges and universities across Massachusetts. But how will this legislation benefit home schooled students? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many of these students have limited access to laboratories, but an incredible wealth of knowledge in using internet search tools to research topics in wide ranging areas. This is a gold mine waiting to happen for home schooled students and parents wishing to maximize the learning environment for the college bound.  Why you ask? Simple. With the incredible pace at which biology and chemistry data are being churned out by scientists, huge biological and chemical databases are being generated. The result has been an exponential growth of information to be mined, probed, analyzed, categorized and used to generate useable products from healthcare to bio-fuels and everything in between! &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Any student skilled in web-based search and retrieval tools for genes, proteins and chemicals, will have a place in this new bio-economy. This area will be a key strength of the home schooled student, if guided correctly. In my next commentary, I'll talk about the 10 key skills home schooled students need to have in their arsenal as they move toward careers in the life or medical sciences.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Gregory I. Simpson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6531488077976445696-8867048458625213884?l=bioanswers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/feeds/8867048458625213884/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6531488077976445696&amp;postID=8867048458625213884' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/8867048458625213884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6531488077976445696/posts/default/8867048458625213884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bioanswers.blogspot.com/2008/07/massachusetts-life-science-laws-and.html' title='Massachusetts Life Science Laws and Homeschooling'/><author><name>Gregory I.

Funny thing is that for a long time, I've wanted to go to Harvard, even with all my education and training, I still wasn't satisfied.  Maybe that's the problem!!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then I thought, maybe I'm not to go to Harvard, maybe I can make a contribution in my own way to science and in the process help many, many people achieve there goals, and dreams, by just being me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now isn't that a great idea. Just being me! One of my mentor's used to tell me that "he was yet to meet a student who didn't have a gift or a talent". That holds true in almost every case. The challenge is to find that gift or talent in you and use it in the best way possible, even if the search appears pain staking! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've given up on the Harvard dream and started another. Today I want to be the best me there is and be happy being me! Sounds like a plan to me, maybe you should try it!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dr. Gregory I.
