Dr. Dial
Trained in science and art, Dr. Dial often incorporates both into her
work. She enjoys analyzing complex technical subjects and translating that information into
images and prose appropriate for various levels of expertise. Her diverse educational background
in science facilitates her special interests in oncology, mood disorders, osteoarthritis,
alternative medicine, and the
endocrinology of osteoporosis.
Fitness, nutrition,
and well-being are integral to Jackie's psychic spectrum. In the summer
that she participated in the First Annual Colorado Mountain Race Circuit, she
finished as second woman after having run such courses as the seven-mile Vail
Hill Climb, the Pikes Peak Half-Marathon, and the 18-mile Ouray to Telluride
over-pass ordeal. (As her knees took a full two years to return to normalcy, she
decided at that point against participating in any further mountain races containing
downhill segments.) Monitoring those knees, she continues to run,
as well as hike, bike, and skate in-line.
Why not
teach or do research? While obtaining her MS and PhD, Dr. Dial's
research was on drugs
of abuse and their effects on ingestion during and
outside of pregnancy. During that time, Jackie came to the realization that, while she has deep
respect for all aspects of ethical research, she prefers not to engage in it
herself. Rather, communicating to others the research design, its
results, and its consequences provides her with a sense of reward and
satisfaction. With strong
feelings that one should return to the earth as one takes from it, Jackie,
through MedicaLink, is proud to help support the following nonprofit
organizations.
