DNA Helix at the Lawrence Hall of Science
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted April 28, 2007 in DNA Fun, DNA in General
On my annual trip to the San Francisco Bay Area this month, I took my four-year-old to the Lawrence Hall of Science, part of the University of California, Berkeley. On the plaza, they have a huge DNA sculpture for kids to climb on and explore. (Click on the images to see a larger version.)
Charles Brown has some amazing aerial views of the DNA sculpture taken by flying his camera on a kite!
