Direct-To-Consumer Genetic Testing - Summary of a Workshop - Technology Committee on Science

Direct-To-Consumer Genetic Testing - Summary of a Workshop - Technology Committee on Science

Today, scores of companies, primarily in the United States and Europe, are offering whole genome scanning services directly to the public. The proliferation of these companies and the services they offer demonstrate a public appetite for this information and where the future of genetics may be headed; they also demonstrate the need for serious discussion about the regulatory environment, patient privacy, and other policy implications of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing. Rapid advances in..

Global Change and Extreme Hydrology - Testing Conventional Wisdom - National Research Council

Global Change and Extreme Hydrology - Testing Conventional Wisdom - National Research Council

Climate theory dictates that core elements of the climate system, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and reservoirs of atmospheric and soil moisture, should change as the climate warms, both in their means and extremes. A major challenge that faces the climate and hydrologic science communities is understanding the nature of these ongoing changes in climate and hydrology and the apparent anomalies that exist in reconciling their extreme manifestations. The National Research Council (NRC)..
