quote:From Wikipedia:
Francis S. Collins (born April 14, 1950), M.D., Ph.D., is a physician-geneticist, noted for his landmark discoveries of disease genes, and his leadership of the Human Genome Project (HGP). He is director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).
With Collins at the helm, the HGP has attained several milestones, while running ahead of schedule and under budget. A working draft of the human genome was announced in June 2000, and Collins was joined by US President Bill Clinton and rival scientist Craig Venter in making the announcement.[1] Venter and Collins thus shared the "Biography of the Year" title from A&E Network.[2] An initial analysis was published in February 2001. HGP scientists continued to work toward finishing the sequence of all three billion base pairs by 2003, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Watson and Crick's seminal publication of the structure of DNA.
He also wrote the book - The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief - which I highly recommend.
He's such a breath of fresh air...I'm on the second video now.
