Title: Good Work
Description: The authors use the professions of genetics and journalism to examine what effect today's market forces have on our ability to do excellent and ethical work. They argue that five levers for good work apply: creating new institutions, expanding functions of existing institutions, reconfiguring existing institutions' membership and reaffirming their values, and taking personal stands. They advocate continual self examination to fortify the integrity and commitment to the mission of our professions.
