What is the most interesting thing about your job and about DNA? M.P. p2
     Dale Lea, R.N., M.P.H., C.G.C., F.A.A.N.: I develop genetics, health education and community involvement programs and resources, and translates genetic and genomic information for the public. I also develop genetic and genomic health information and educational resources for healthcare professionals. I am a health educator at NHGRI. The most interesting aspect of my job is creating educational materials for the general public about genetics and how it applies to health and disease. The most interesting thing about DNA is its role in health and disease, as well as individuals' physical and personal traits.
