I set up a laboratory in the Department of Physiology in the Medical School in South Africa and begin to try to find a bacteriophage system which we might use to solve the genetic code.

I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S.

The experience of learning how to get straight to the core of a problem proved to be of immense value later when I had a long succession of responsibilities in large complex government departments.

The public sector certainly includes the Department of Labor. Those are jobs that are available. They are open and they are good paying jobs. The government as a whole has been actually retrenching under President Clinton's leadership.

To my knowledge the Department of Homeland Security has focused on detection devices that are large expensive use a large amount of energy and cannot easily be placed in or on a shipping container.

Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.

Since the tragedies the Department of Homeland Security was established to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States and most importantly to share intelligence information among government agencies and departments.

The Homeland Security department doesn't have tasking authority in the intelligence community. They can ask for stuff but they can't direct anything except inside their bureau.

The beautiful thing about my intelligence is that it doesn't really come in one specific department. So even if something hasn't happened to me I have information on how to get you through whatever you may be going through.

We've done it in intelligence sharing and certain elements of security. There were parts of the department in fact that worked very well in Katrina like the Coast Guard and TSA.
