The May/June issue of IEEE Potentials has a interesting article on developing undergraduate programs in bioinformatics. A major point that the author, Jeff Zadeh, of Virginia State University, makes is that an undergraduate curricula makes possible the interdisciplinary foundation that bioinformatics needs: biology, mathematics, and computer science. Undergraduate study is inherently interdiscipline, whereas in graduate school there is more focus on research and discipline specific studies. -- .david David Lapointe "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly." - T.Paine
