Do Your Friends Glaze Over
When You Mention Genomics?
http://marietteabrahams.com
As I have learnt a lot over the last two
years about genomics and the
possibilities of true personalization, I get
more excited and I just want to know
more. Unfortunately this does come at a
cost…to my friends who have to hear
about endless ideas and prospects of our
health in the years to come.

I realise that genomics is not interesting
to everybody especially as it is emerging
and is not quite mindless entertainment
but rather quite difficult for the non-
sciency brain. However as information is
much easier to access thanks to the
internet, there is no reason why we can t
all understand the basics and how our
healthcare will change in the future.

Most people now access their news
and updates via media in the form of
newspapers, the internet, apps and the
radio. It is therefore crucial that the
media stays updated with scientific
advances in Genomics..

A recent article published in the Risk
Management healthcare policy journal
highlighted the fact that when the Human
Genome project was completed in 2001,
there was huge media coverage regading
the announcement in Japan.

The authors believe that this gap in
dissemination of knowledge between lay
people and scientists it is due to the fact the
Genomic Medicine is not a major health
issue as well as the fact that as it is an
emerging area and the press is exercising
restraint until ample evidence is present.

Therefore, if you are a healthcare
professional or company not sure what the
impact will be of genomic advances in terms
of your products or services, why not start
getting informed about what Genomics is
and the impact it will have on personalized
medicine ,nutrition and food in the future.
