Dr. Bloom's Reading List
From a message sent to UMHS by Dr. Bloom:
1. The December 15, 2006 issue of SCIENCE (314:1696-1704) contains the
superb Presidential Address of Gilbert Omenn: "Grand Challenges and
Great Opportunities in Science, Technology, and Public Policy." Gil,
currently Chair of the Board of Directors of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), explains how identification of
"grand challenges" in science and at the intersection of science and
society can accelerate progress for the good of the planet. If you have
not seen this article, it is worth reading. If you can't access it, we
can send you a PDF or hard copy.
2. Also for your reading list - consider Janet Gilsdorf's "A Piece of
My Mind" (JAMA, 296(23):2777-2778, Dec 20, 2006). This is a terrific
piece of thought and writing.
