Happy *New Science* Friday

Happy *NEW SCIENCE* Sunday!

It's DNA Day!

"Genes are like the story, and DNA is the language that the story is written in."
-Sam Kean
Ah DNA- deoxyribonucleic acid. This building block of life is what makes me... me and you... you! It's important, complex, and worth celebrating. 
Every year, on April 25th, scientists, teachers, students, and other DNA enthusiasts join together to celebrate DNA day. This holiday commemorates not only the discovery of DNA in 1953, but also the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003.

Meet Rae Wynn-Grant, PhD

From Rae:

“When you’re a wildlife ecologist but you also need media content 🤪🐻. A couple years ago I challenged myself to finding ways to film the work I do while still DOING it. Not everyone gets a film crew to follow their adventures! Doing wildlife work with a @gopro strapped to my head has become the norm, and I’m grateful that it allows me to better show the world what I’m up to ✨
