The greater the field of knowledge you acquire, the greater the uncharted territory you will face. More confusion will come, and more questions and their derivatives will need to be studied and explored in successive waves. Has the big change in the life sciences arrived? Original Author Bio: Lighting the Future I have drawn five lessons from the evolution of genomics over the past decade. In the book The Wisdom of Sand, the author writes, “With the future, your task is not to predict it, but to figure out how to make that day come sooner.” Genomics research has served as such a catalyst for the biomedical field in these past 10 years. Only time will tell to what extent genomics research, a revolution in biotechnology, will be able to impact our lives. I’m betting that the best of times are just around the corner.
