I thought this was a very interesting article to share, seeing as Orthopedics seems to have its share of controversies over research. It shall be interesting to see what the future holds in the field of research with him as head.
I was especially interested in Collins' comments on Science and Religion.

Science and Religion
“The study of the human genome has completely transformed medical research and is on the way to transforming clinical practice,” Collins said in May, when he announced he would step down as head of the genome institute.
Collins grew up on a small farm in rural Virginia and was educated at home until the sixth grade. He received his undergraduate degree in chemistry from the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, in 1970. He received his Yale doctorate in 1974 and a medical degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in 1977.
A guitar player known to be fond of motorcycles, Collins is also a one-time atheist who wrote a book in 2006 about his Christian beliefs. He took the title, “The Language of God,” from comments Clinton made at a 2000 ceremony, “we are learning the language in which God created life.”
“God is most certainly not threatened by science,” Collins wrote in the book. “He made it all possible.”
