"Metabolomics: You Are What You Eat" - Career Field to Check Out!

http://www.nasa.gov/feature/video-highlights-mark-and-scott-kellys-metabolites-metabolomics-you-are-what-you-eat/

NASA's Human Research Program released the "Metabolomics: You Are What You Eat" video to highlight its Twins Study, which uses omics to study Mark and Scott Kelly's metabolites. Omics is an evolving field integrating collections of measurements, biomolecules and sub-disciplines to provide a more complete picture of health. It includes the studies of DNA, RNA, proteins, your environment, microbiome and metabolites. This is the sixth video in the omics miniseries of eight videos. The video provides a broad overview of ongoing Twins Study research on the International Space Station and the importance of the metabolome, the collection of an individual's metabolites.

One interesting aspect of this study is that the researchers know what Scott Kelly ate during the one-year mission, as diet impacts a person's metabolites. Researchers can see which foods cause certain metabolic changes. It will be informative to learn how what you eat determines what you are chemically. Watch it now!

To Whom It May Concern - reminder to get a recommendation from your summer employer

"To whom it may concern" should only be used when writing a letter and the identity of the person reading it is not yet known. A classic example is a reference when you leave a job that you can present to a prospective employer.






How about its use in a cover letter?

Should you capitalize it?

Oprah Soul Sunday quotes

"Believe Life is Rigged in Your Favor"  -  I often say, the Lord is in the Plan...no matter what happens - resilience is about what you do next.

Failure is not the opposite of success, it is the stepping stone to success!

I do my 10% at 100% and leave the rest to God "Surrender"...life is a dance of making things happen and letting things happen...reminder.. God is in control ! I often say something I heard long ago "Let Go and Let God"...

Thanks Oprah..(interview with Ariana Huffington aired 5-15-2015) and some of my commentary...
