Scientists have been studying DNA for decades – DNA provides the code of life for nearly all living organisms.

Did you know?

Your DNA could stretch from the earth to the sun and back approximately 600 times.
Every human being shares 99.9% of their DNA with every other human. Of the 3 billion base pairs in the human genome, only 0.1% are unique to us.
You also share 85% of your DNA with a mouse, 40% with a fruit fly, and 41% with a banana!

Bionerds had a great time with IlluminaInc in our DNA class last Friday! Thank you for joining us!

Spent the morning teaching middle school students in Washington DC about DNA and led a strawberry DNA extraction with them! illuminainc sent out strawberry DNA extraction kits to teachers at no cost to almost 600 educational groups, reaching over 40,000 young learners! Classrooms  only needed to be able to connect with Illumina employees virtually and students provided the strawberry. #illuminaproud #Genomics4All #dna #genomics #biotech #stemeducation
The illumina geneticists are here!  Learning about genetics. Awesome sauce. You should be here!  lmsnation #genomics4all
Miss Nicole will be doing STRAWBERRY DNA EXTRACTION for her May 5th Science Bytes video. Big thanks to usasciencefest and illuminainc for partnering to provide us with supplies that we can distribute to our young scientists. Just call either BPL location (bplct.org) starting April 26th to schedule a curbside pickup of your kit. Then watch Miss Nicole’s video starting on May 5th to get instructions for the project. One kit per child. Adult supervision recommended for the project. #science #genomics #genomics4all #internationaldnaday #scienceiscool #scienceforkids #bloomfieldct
Who is ready for tomorrow?  MEEEEEEEEE. lmsnation #genomics4all
