This is my third career adventure. After earning an M.S. in biological sciences, I taught high school biology for two years and then worked for more than 20 years as a molecular biologist, primarily in biotech companies.<\/p>\n<p>My current goal is to move into a service-oriented environment as a biomedical information specialist at an academic library or research institution. I was inspired to make this change by my sister, who is a medical librarian and loves her work. I\u2019d like to use my expertise to connect medical professionals, students, and patients with the rapidly expanding field of genetic medicine.<\/p>\n<p>I live in San Diego with one husband, three brittany spaniels, one snake, and four lizards. I\u2019m an avid reader and also enjoy singing in my church choir, gardening, hiking, and visiting wilderness areas. I also have the honor to be the recipient of the 2010 MLA scholarship.<\/p>\n<p><em>Posted 8\/24\/10<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings from Kathy Elliott!
