A Point of Clarification

Dec 28, 2006 commentary

I have received many e-mails from readers, authors, investors, consultants, and others related to topics that I’ve discussed here at Epigenetics News. Many of these e-mailers have made some false assumptions. In light of this, I would like to make a few points very clear to our readers:

  • While I try to summarize news and research articles related to epigenetics, this in no way associates me with the research being conducted. It does not provide with me with additional “inside” information nor can I extrapolate from research to answer questions not addressed in those research articles. No epigenetics research is conducted by Epigenetics News.
  • I am not an expert in epigenetics. I am a student researcher that happens to work in a lab conducting a study related to epigenetics, and this has provided me with a topic of interest to explore and hopefully teach others along the way. So as I attempt to learn more about epigenetics, hopefully my readers will learn more about epigenetics as well.
  • I am not in a position to provide investment advice regarding companies covered at Epigenetics News.

With that said, I fully expect that the majority of my search engine traffic will never see this post and will continue to send me e-mails asking for investment advice and expert opinion. Regardless, I hope that this post may invite readers to at least read through the About page which details who the authors are and a little more information how the information on this site is gathered and dispensed.

    Hsien Lei,

    This has been crazy. I used to work on the Web as a writer/editor from about 1999-2002, and it is definitely different launching Web sites now than it used to be. It’s much easier and cheaper now. And science is a lot more fun to write about!

    Happy New Year to you as well.
