   Extractions: WHAT JOBS DO BIOLOGISTS HAVE? Research Many researchers work at colleges and universities, where they also teach. Industry employs research biologists in fields such as biotechnology, drug development, and food processing. Some research biologists work for the government, where they aim to protect and restore the environment, breed better crops, fight human and animal diseases, evaluate food and drug safety, or work on space missions. Researchers attend seminars, read scientific journals, and write articles to tell others about their results. Some travel to exotic places to do their work. Researchers often need help from skilled people trained in biology. Laboratory technicians help carry out experiments; they often become experts at taking field measurements, manipulating cells, handling animals and chemicals, or using sophisticated instruments. Health Care Health care workers apply biological knowledge to keep people healthy or return sick people to health. Physicians, dentists, nurses, medical technicians, and physician's assistants all must have a solid biology background. Some health care professionals work directly with patients; others may devise public health campaigns to defeat illnesses such as tuberculosis, AIDS, cancer, and heart disease. Some work to prevent the spread of rare, deadly diseases like that caused by the now infamous Ebola virus. The Great Outdoors Many outdoor jobs await people well trained in the life sciences. Horticulturalists develop new crop varieties, care for plants in greenhouses and fields, and design landscape plans. Fisheries biologists might work with an aquaculture company, overseeing the reproduction of farm-raised trout that eventually end up in your local supermarket. Zookeepers make food, medicate animals, and may help with captive breeding programs for endangered species.

   Extractions: Information on careers in Life Sciences is available from many sources, including the WU Career Center in Umrath Hall. Many specific resources are listed here; in addition many professional societies can provide specific career information. Consult science journals published by professional societies for the addresses of the societies. The internet is also an interesting source of information, especially from governmental agencies and universities (see http://www.furman.edu/~snyder/careers/careers.html . Also note that information from most of the sources listed in this handbook is available in the Natural Sciences Learning Center. In addition, however, if you wish to keep this option a viable one, you should seriously consider selecting courses that will help you develop 'marketable' skills and knowledge. As just one example among many, the Laboratory on DNA Manipulation (Bio 437) provides practical experience with recombinant DNA techniques that many potential employers would consider extremely valuable. Among the many advanced courses that the Biology Department offers, ones that provide particularly good theoretical and/or practical background for various areas of biomedical research include (not in order of importance, but in the order listed in the catalog, and with those that provide relevant kinds of laboratory instruction underlined):

   Extractions: Introduction With the new millennium upon us, it's more important than ever to look closely at the changes in different industries. Industries and consequently, a student's career choices have changed dramatically in the last decade. Recent college graduates, no matter what their major has been, too often discover that there is a dismaying gap between their knowledge and planning and the reality of an actual career. Possibly even more unfortunate is the existence of potentially satisfying careers that graduates do not even know about. - Career Choices for the 21st Century - The purpose of this section is to offer a sampling of the types of careers that are open to life science and biochemistry graduates. Of course, your potential to succeed in pursuing a particular career path will depend on several things (your level of education, your marks, your interests, etc.), but the more informed you are about the choices available to you, the better your chances of success and satisfaction. Starting salaries for most entry-level positions in the careers outlined here hover around the $20,000-$25,000 a year range. Government positions tend to pay less than jobs in the private sectors, but are nevertheless good starting points.

Several faculty members have won teaching awards and most faculty members are recognized world-wide for excellence in biomedical and basic science research. The Life Sciences degrees are interdisciplinary programs of study that provide a broad background in: ANATOMY, which deals with the microscopic and macroscopic structure of living organisms and includes a consideration of the formation and functional importance of all parts of an organism. BIOCHEMISTRY has its roots in two major scientific disciplines, biology and chemistry. It is the study of chemical processes associated with living organisms.

    Extractions: www.bioinformatics.vt.edu The rush to sequenceand ultimately interpretthe genomes of humans and other species is driving the demand for researchers in certain key areas of the life sciences. With Rockville, Md.-based Celera Genomics Group's announcement early last month that the company had decoded 99 percent of the human genome, the need for genomic experts to mine the "rough draft" for useful sequences, and eventually proteins, seems all but certain. Gene Myers , vice president of informatics research at Celera, explains that there are two types of bioinformatics specialists: the "miners" and the "engineers." The miners have biological training and know how to extract biological information from sequenced genomes. The engineers design the mining tools; with a strong computing background, they write the genomics programs. "Both groups are in high demand," says Myers, although he adds that right now miners are more in demand.
