Francis Collins, physician and geneticist, is widely known as
director of the National Institutes of Health, former director of the
Human Genome Project and an outspoken advocate of reconciling science
with belief in Christianity.
He’s less known as a blogger, but he’s been posting fairly regularly for almost two years at directorsblog.nih.gov.
Mostly he highlights new research into a wide range of topics:
childhood asthma and teen depression, obesity and brain research, and,
recently, the genomics of and potential vaccine against Ebola.
For the past few weeks, he’s also been posting a series of “Cool Videos,” drawn from a competition
sponsored this summer by NIH. They’re short, usually funny, and
comprehensible — to varying degrees — to the nonprofessional viewer.
