Radiation Therapist - Karen Lynne Ullman
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Karen+Lynne+Ullma
n>  (10/28/2005)
"The goal of radiation therapy is to kill the cancer cells with as little
risk as possible to normal cells. Members of our radiation oncology
department work together to treat our patients. This collaborative effort is
seen and felt by all, including the patient, family members, and friends. "

Genetic Counselor - Barbara Biesecker
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Barbara+Biesecker
>  (10/17/2005)
"My career goals are to complete my doctoral degree and continue my work. My
initial career goals were to direct a graduate program and conduct research,
and I am doing both. I suppose once I complete my doctoral degree there will
be new options to consider."

Radiologic Technologist - Dennis
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Dennis+Johnson>
Johnson (10/12/2005)
"In our department, we see approximately 60 to 80 patients a day. Most of
our work revolves around the use of our computer tomography (CT) scanners. A
CT scanner is a tubular-shaped machine that generates multiple X-ray images
simultaneously. The images are digitized and processed by the computer to
display them as two-dimensional pictures on a monitor. CT scans provide
physicians with detailed images of a patient's internal body that aids them
in diagnosis and treatment planning. "

Biostatistician - Richard
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Richard+Simon>
Simon (9/16/2005)
" In high school, I wasn't really interested in learning until I began the
study of geometry. My older sister was an excellent student, to whom I was
always compared. I was questioned, "Why don't you do better in school like
your sister? Why don't you apply yourself more?" The turning point came when
I was in the 10th grade. I had a wonderful geometry teacher who loved her
subject."

Forensic Science Technician - Angi M. Christensen
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Angi+M.+Christens
en>  (8/15/2005)
"What I like best about my work is that almost every day is different and
rewarding. Every case is unique and presents new challenges, which keeps me
thinking and stimulated. The idea that everything I do is helping to solve a
crime and/or provide closure for loved ones is very rewarding."

Speech-Language Pathologist - Christy
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Christy+Ludlow>
Ludlow (8/12/2005)
"My immediate goal involves a new project to help patients with chronic
dysphagia as a result of a stroke, brain injury or a brain tumor. These
patients can't eat solid foods or feed themselves and often must be tube
feed. I would like to develop a new treatment to help these patients."

Emergency Medical Technician and Paramedic - Darryl
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Darryl+Lowery>
Lowery (7/20/2005)
"I chose to become an emergency medical technician because of a great
volunteer experience. When I was 16, I volunteered at the local fire
department along with three of my best friends from high school. Early on, I
took the necessary classes and became certified in cardiovascular pulmonary
resuscitation (CPR), and advanced first aid. I continued working there while
I finished high school. Many times I would go to the firehouse after school
on Friday and stay there most of the weekend through Sunday. "

Surgical Technologist - Lisa
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Lisa+Brown>
Brown (7/8/2005)
"After working most of my career in a community hospital, I find it
interesting to work in the NIH research environment. I have worked on
surgical cases that I never knew existed."

Social Worker, Medical - Tina
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Tina+Levin>
Levin (7/8/2005)
"My mother is a Holocaust survivor, and my father was an emotionally
repressed man. I believe I was left to figure out feelings on my own. I
learned early on to treat my mother gently and to take care of her because
she had suffered enough in her past. Later in my life, I saw a therapist who
helped me continue my quest to figure out feelings and who encouraged me to
study social work. It was my own process of learning to become myself that
created a passion in me to be genuine and, in turn, to help others in a
similar discovery."

Orthotist and Prosthetist - Ralph Urgolities
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Ralph+Urgolities>
(7/7/2005)
"The advice I have given my children and grandchildren and would give to any
young person thinking about the future is: Study all kinds of subjects -
don't rule anything out - and try your best at each one so that you get a
feel for what you really like and what you're good at. Think about what's
really important in life. What will bring you satisfaction, not only when
you get your paycheck but also when you look back on your life and the
difference you have made on the planet?"

Dental Laboratory Technician - Ana
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Ana+M.+Remond>
M. Remond (6/8/2005)
"My career goal is to enter a dental school through the Navy dental
scholarship program. My hope would be to find a dental school through the
American Association of Dental Schools and use the Navy scholarship to
complete my training."

Dentist - James
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/James+Tynecki>
Tynecki (6/8/2005)
"What I like best about my work is when I give a patient a "smile" that they
are proud to wear. In some cases, a patient's appearance affects their
ability to interact successfully with others. ...My artistic and creative
abilities have really helped me as a dentist. Being good with your hands and
being compassionate are also necessary skills in good dental practice. "

Dental Assistant - Christopher Beadle
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Christopher+Beadl
e>  (5/19/2005)
"I went through military boot camp in Chicago. ... After training, the Navy
sent me to Naples, Italy for two years to give dental care to the military
stationed in that area. ...On my return to the United States, I was assigned
to the White House and had the privilege of providing dental care to the
first family. "

Pediatrician - Lynne
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Lynne+Haverkos>
Haverkos (5/13/2005)
"A pediatrician encompasses qualities of a medical detective, a counselor,
and a healer. There is an element of intrigue in searching for signs and
symptoms of diseases and solving diagnostic dilemmas. "

Audiologist - Carmen
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Carmen+Brewer>
Brewer (5/13/2005)
"Quite honestly, I was a lost soul during middle school and high school. My
mother died when I was 10 years old and I was the oldest of 5 children.
During my non-school hours, I helped run the household, and did my school
homework. Occasionally, I escaped with friends to do the things that teenage
girls did, which in my generation was listening to the Beatles! "

Dentist - Stephen
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Stephen+Sterlitz>
Sterlitz (5/13/2005)
"I did not get into dental school the first time that I applied. Quite a let
down for someone who had never been told "No" in his life! Even though I
completed the minimum prerequisites for admission, scored in the 90th
percentile on the admissions exam, and had a pretty strong resume, the
dental schools wanted to see more science classes. I had to prove that I
could handle the heavy academic load in dental school. Resolute to realize
my goal, I resigned from active duty in the Navy and enrolled as a full-time
undergraduate student at Eastern Michigan University. "

Occupational Therapist - Karoline Harvey
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Karoline+Harvey>
(4/18/2005)
"I chose to become an occupational therapist because I always liked science.
I began to consider occupational therapy (OT) as a career when my identical
twin sister fell-off a horse and broke her arm. She required OT during her
recovery. "

Microbiologist - Patricia
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Patricia+Diaz>
Diaz (3/28/2005)
"The talents necessary for this kind of job are patience, enthusiasm,
critical thinking, persistence, intuition and creativity. Researchers can
focus on a very small question for a long period of time... . They know that
if they are patient enough, there is a reward at the end of the road."

Occupational Health and Safety Specialist - Greg Tate
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Greg+Tate>
(3/21/2005)
"While in college, I came upon the safety science field. I was curious about
the laws that protect workers, since one of my friends had lost a foot
during a work-related accident. I began taking classes and enjoyed the
coursework."

Occupational Therapy Assistant - Nancy
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Nancy+Bernier>
Bernier (3/1/2005)
"I chose to become an occupational therapy (OT) assistant because 12 years
ago I had breast cancer and saw first-hand the benefit that the OT assistant
gave to the patient."

Internist - Elise Kohn
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Elise+Kohn>
(3/1/2005)
"I mentor anyone who will let me. Learning is such a dynamic process. I am
constantly learning... . "

Physical Therapist Assistant - Chris
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Chris+Weaver>
Weaver (1/10/2005)
"I chose to become a physical therapy assistant because all of my life I
have had an interest in health and science. My favorite subjects in high
school were anatomy and physiology."

Occupational Therapist - Hanna Hildenbrand
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Hanna+Hildenbrand
>  (11/29/2004)
"As a teenager, I became a camp counselor with the United Cerebral Palsy
organization. ... The work was physically and emotionally challenging, but I
completely enjoyed the experience. The campers and their families were so
appreciative of, and satisfied with, the camp experience. They taught me
about how much you can achieve with motivation, perseverance, adaptability
and a little support. Experiences at the UCP summer camps strongly
influenced my choice of academic and professional study."

Surgeon - Derrick
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Derrick+Cox>  Cox
(10/22/2004)
"I began residency with an open mind to discover what specialty would best
utilize my personal attributes, and also be rewarding and challenging. I am
very enthusiastic and confident in my decision to pursue a career in
surgical oncology. I aspire to be a leader in public health by being an
advocate for reducing cancer health disparities through cancer prevention
coupled with early diagnosis and treatment."

Physical Therapist - Matthew Scherer
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Matthew+Scherer>
(10/22/2004)
What I like best about my work is to see the patients make progress toward
their goals and improve their level of functional activity. As the patient
progresses toward independence, I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment
and a justification of my career choice. Fitness and wellness is important
to me, and I know it will be part of my patients' lives throughout their
rehabilitation."

Medical Assistant - Phyllis Shipper
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Phyllis+Shipper>
(10/20/2004)
"I chose to become a medical assistant because of a wonderful and rewarding
experience I had as a youth. I volunteered as a Candy Striper at the Hebrew
Home for the Aged in Maryland. The enjoyment and overwhelming satisfaction I
felt by helping others was incredible! Ever since then, I knew I wanted to
work with people in a meaningful way and make a positive impact in this
world."

Epidemiologist - W Tun
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/W+Tun>
(9/24/2004)
"I chose to become an epidemiologist because I have always been interested
in international development. After graduating from college, I spent a year
as a volunteer in India teaching English to Tibetan refugees. This
experience influenced my decision to focus on public health problems in
developing countries."

Prosthodontist - Mary
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Mary+Walker>
Walker (9/10/2004)
"Becoming more involved with complex patient treatments, like the use of
dental implants and comprehensive intra-oral reconstruction, prompted me to
further my education. I decided to pursue a specialty in prosthodontics
while working towards a Ph.D. in biomaterials."

Chemist - Jack
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Jack+Simpson>
Simpson (8/17/2004)
"Mass spectrometry [is] a technique I use to determine the molecular weight
of intact molecules, such as drugs, proteins and DNA. It can also be used to
identify and sequence proteins, and monitor drugs in body fluids. For
instance, all drug testing for the Olympics is performed using mass
spectrometry."

Biomedical Engineer - Abby
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Abby+Vogel>
Vogel (8/17/2004)
"My career goals are to graduate with a Ph.D. in Biological Resources
Engineering and to publish as a first author in a leading professional
journal. ... After graduating with a Ph.D., I am undecided about whether to
pursue a career in academia as a professor, or in industry as a biomedical
engineer."

Chemical Engineer - Steve
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Steve+Marquis>
Marquis (8/16/2004)
"What I like best about my work is the opportunity to see the development of
cutting-edge cancer treatments, whether they are coming out of the NCI
laboratories, or developed through collaboration with an outside party."

Epidemiologist - Victoria Cargill
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Victoria+Cargill>
(7/9/2004)
"My typical workday varies based upon the duties I need to accomplish for
the day. I work as a medical officer on policy issues. As a doctor, I also
have a private practice in a southeast clinic in Washington D.C. At the NIH,
I don't fit into any single niche. For example, I am a researcher, but I
don't work in a typical NIH laboratory. My lab is the inner city where my
practice is located. Listening to my patients is as important as the
diagnostic tests that are conducted. Working in the inner city environment
requires an understanding of gangs, drugs, rap music, urban hip-hop, and
people struggling to maintain their dignity."

Biochemist - David
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/David+Belnap>
Belnap (7/1/2004)
"Considering my college education, I knew I wanted to do something in
science that combined my interests in biology, mathematics, physics, and
chemistry. I decided that biochemistry best suited my goal. I have
emphasized the more physical and mathematical aspects of biochemistry in my
study and research."

Medical Librarian - Robin
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Robin+Meckley>
Meckley (5/28/2004)
"I work in a scientific research library, helping researchers who work in
basic science. Other medical librarians work in clinical settings such as
hospitals or medical schools, helping physicians, nurses, and even patients.
Still other medical librarians work at biotechnology or drug companies. For
greater job flexibility, I recommend pursuing a Master of Library Science
degree from a program that is approved by the American Library Association
(ALA)."

Social Worker, Mental Health and Substance Abuse - Debby Hill
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Debby+Hill>
(5/27/2004)
"I chose to become a social worker, because of two interests that I
developed. In grade school, I became very interested in medicine. At the
time, I wanted to be a doctor or a nurse. When I grew older, I decided that
it was not practical for me to pursue that dream, since I am blind. (Later,
I discovered that there are doctors who are blind and nurses with partial
vision.) But despite that decision, my interest in medicine remained."

Medical and Health Services Manager - Ron
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Ron+DeClerck>
DeClerck (5/17/2004)
I have a detail-oriented personality and prefer organization. My interests,
counseling, and research, all pointed me to this field. Through the U.S.
Department of Labor, I discovered it was one of the fastest growing
industries in which to work due to the aging American population. It was
also exciting to consider being part of an industry undergoing the
technological change from paper to electronics."

Social Worker, Mental Health and Substance Abuse - Linda Doty
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Linda+Doty>
(4/15/2004)
"If you are a recent high school graduate, it is quite acceptable to be
uncertain about what you want to do with the rest of your life. Many of us
change majors more than once. I feel it is advantageous to blend more than
one profession or field of study. Ultimately, you make yourself more
marketable."

Biology Teacher, Secondary - Peggy Deichstetter
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Peggy+Deichstette
r>  (4/7/2004)
"I've had students use candy M&Ms to demonstrate how natural selection
works. The losers are eaten; while the strongest go on to compete again.
After the activity, students review their data and discuss the outcome. They
learn that the strongest M&M will live to reproduce more of the same color
and attributes, a central principle behind the theory of natural selection."

Veterinary Technologist and Technician - Katherine
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Katherine+L>  L
(3/25/2004)
"I was raised on a mini-farm, and we had chickens, goats, dogs, cats, cows,
pigs, and horses. They were all my friends. Dr. Donna Brown, a traveling
veterinarian, inspired me. She came to our house to give the animals
immunizations and to provide health care when they were ill. She used to let
me help her. These early experiences inspired me to pursue a career in the
field."

Veterinarian - Tanya B
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Tanya+B>
(3/12/2004)
"I chose to become a veterinarian because it allows me to combine my love of
animals with my equal passion for science, problem solving and teaching."

Medical Illustrator - Don Bliss
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Don+Bliss>
(3/11/2004)
Understanding the scientific content is what separates medical illustrators
from other artists."

Obstetrician and Gynecologist - Matrice
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Matrice+Browne>
Browne (2/10/2004)
"What I like best about my work is the diversity of my workday. No two days
are exactly alike. I especially enjoy interacting with the families as they
bring a new life into the world."

Biophysicist - Peter
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Peter+Bandettini>
Bandettini (2/9/2004)
"I chose to become a biophysicist because since I was about 12 years old, I
have been fascinated by human thought and behavior. As I got older, I
realized that the mysteries of human behavior lie in understanding our
brains - the most complex system known to man."

Respiratory Therapist - Dennis
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Dennis+Brown>
Brown (1/20/2004)
"The respiratory therapist is technically skilled and can operate and
maintain lots of different devices. Some of the equipment is used for life
support such as mechanical ventilators, bronchoscopy systems, non-invasive
ventilators, laboratory blood gas analyzers, high flow and low flow oxygen
delivery devices, portable monitoring systems, EKG, non invasive
ventilators, and the list goes on and on."

Nurse, Registered - Keisha
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Keisha+Potter>
Potter (1/20/2004)
"Nursing is a wonderful profession that allows many opportunities and career
paths. I am proud of what I have accomplished and how I touch the lives of
others. I meet interesting people everyday and am able to leave work with a
sense of accomplishment and fulfillment."

Government Service Executive - Steven
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Steven+Hausman>
Hausman (1/12/2004)
"I have long had an interest in science that began in elementary school. One
of my elementary school teachers fostered that interest. I still remember
receiving an 'A' on a paper I wrote on weather patterns. My interest in
science continued throughout my education."

Patent Lawyer - Malka
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Malka+Scher>
Scher (1/9/2004)
"At the time I went to high school and college, it was unusual to be a woman
interested in science. I liked asking questions and the challenge of finding
answers in the laboratory."

Counseling Psychologist - Craig
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Craig+Kalman>
Kalman (11/17/2003)
"My brother and I are both Towson State University (TSU) alumni and big
football fans. My brother wrote the lyrics and music of a song about about
the legendary Baltimore Colts quarterback, Johnny Unitas. In 2003, when TSU
renamed their stadium in honor of Unitas, they played his original song at
the dedication ceremony."

Pharmacist - Leslie
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Leslie+Adams>
Adams (11/12/2003)
"Pharmacy has a number of specialties from which to choose, like veterinary
sciences, infectious diseases, critical care, psychology, and ambulatory
care. I am a clinical research pharmacist, and spend a lot of time working
with investigational drugs that may eventually be considered for approval by
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)."

Dietitian and Nutritionist - Gloria
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Gloria+Stables>
Stables (11/12/2003)
"Currently I help review and synthesize the latest research to determine
which interventions are effective in increasing vegetable and fruit
consumption, to ultimately decrease cancer risk." 

Medical and Clinical Laboratory Technologist - Chris King
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Chris+King>
(10/20/2003)
"What I like best about my work is the fact that I am really helping people.
If you think about how doctors make diagnostic decisions, they order lab
tests. It's the primary way doctors figure out what's wrong with a patient."

Medical Library Technician - Crystal
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Crystal+Smith>
Smith (10/17/2003)
"What I like best about my work is interacting with people. I also enjoy
tracking down information to answer questions. I feel instant gratification
when I find the answers to customers' inquiries."

Dentist - Jennifer
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Jennifer+Cyriaque
>  Cyriaque (9/23/2003)
"I encourage students to go for it in whatever it is that they aspire to do.
Build on your natural abilities and your interests, and see where those
things lead you. Don't let people tell you that you can't accomplish your
goals. There are no mistakes, only life experiences."

Dietetic Technician, Registered - Antoinette Colbert
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Antoinette+Colber
t>  (9/23/2003)
"When I was 16, my mother took me to a nursing home to seek a job and
explore the field of nursing. There were no openings as a nurse's assistant,
but there was an available position in the nutrition department. While
working with the dietician there, I became very interested in the field."

Psychiatrist - David
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/David+T.+George>
T. George (9/12/2003)
"There is always something new to learn. It's something like a treasure hunt
or finding the next missing piece of the puzzle. "

Fitness Trainer and Aerobics Instructor - Barry
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Barry+Weidner>
Weidner (6/24/2003)
"There is a lot of variety in my day. I'm always moving around doing
different things. I couldn't stand the idea of sitting behind a desk all
day."

Health Educator - Frank GrayShield
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Frank+GrayShield>

stroke, repair the brain following stroke, and develop effective
treatments."

Medical and Health Services Manager - Wade
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Wade+Atkins>
Atkins (4/11/2003)
"There is no other field that directly affects 12 million lives each year
like blood banking. Someone in this country is transfused every 3 seconds.
This work is fascinating because each clinical case is like a mystery. You
get to play the role of Sherlock Holmes and come up with creative solutions
to solve the mystery." 

Orthodontist - Sunil
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Sunil+Wadhwa>
Wadhwa (4/9/2003)
"I don't like putting people in pain. In orthodontics, it's just the
opposite. People want to see me, and there is nothing I do that causes them
pain."

Animal Technician - Maurice
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Maurice++B>  B
(4/9/2003)
"While I was feeding a nonhuman primate, another animal nearby stole the
work keys that were attached to my scrubs. He started jiggling the keys and
jumping around, almost as if he was bragging."

Health and Medical Science Museum Curator - Manon
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Manon+Parry>
Parry (4/8/2003)

Science Writer - Alisa
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Alisa+Machalek>
Machalek (4/8/2003)
"Calling-up Nobel prize-winners and asking them to explain their work is
just part of my job. How cool is that!"

Biological Technician - Jason
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Jason+Sacks>
Sacks (4/8/2003)
"My career goals are to complete my master's degree in Public Health, which
I am working toward now on a part-time basis. After that, I hope to work for
an international organization or a state health department trying to stop
the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS."

Recreational Therapist - Julie
<http://science.education.nih.gov/LifeWorks.nsf/Interviews/Julie+Hoehl>
Hoehl (4/2/2003)
