BMJ Career Focus: A Wikipedia wizard and blogger August 17, 2007

I’m honored to be featured in the recent issue of British Medical Journal’s Career Focus. I talk about personalized genetics, web 2.0, my future plans and blogging. The editors might have done some changes during the micro-editing process so the pdf contains some errors. I’m so thankful to Tiago Villanueva for being so helpful and kind during the whole process!

Cool! Congrats, Berci!
Thank you, David!
I just found your blog through that article. I too am a blogger, and medical, although in different circles to yourself. I was troubled by your talk of increased “genetic screening” for diseases prenatally and at birth, which seems to imply destroying life in order to preserve our society from ill-health. This seems to tread the path towards eugenics, and I despair that medicine would be used as such destructive tool.
I look forward to blogging more about ethics in medicine, but having just started my first house job, I am quite preoccupied, and will have to settle into things a little first.
All the best with your career and electronic endeavours.
Dr. Matt Doyle, thank you for the kind words!

I’ll talk about it later in a longer post.
