My son just graduated from Antioch with a BS in biomedical sciences.
His senior thesis was in computational biology--he wrote a program in
C++ (the new 11/97 standard, using the STL) to compute the optimal PCR
primers for an input DNA sequence. This is fairly specialized and
advanced, and he has found that most employers advertising job openings
in biology or chemistry are not a good fit for his skills. In what
directions should he search for employment.
