One of the biggest challenges to medicine is the incorporation of information technology in our practices.

While the Environmental Genome Project does not seek to assign allele frequencies, we are aware of the importance of accurate allele frequency estimates for future epidemiologic studies and the large sample sizes such estimates will require.

Compulsive modernization is the insatiable desire to change and grow.

Unless physicians stand together to fight threats and injustices, our practices cannot remain viable in the future.

The infrastructure for linking environmental health and public health is not working as well as it should.

It is important to consider whether the sample size selected by the Environmental Genome Project will provide sufficient power to discover most alleles relevant to gene-environment interactions.

The liquid state of modernity is corrosive to continuity.
