DNA is known for… DNA needs…

Here’s a fun little meme David Bradley of Sciencebase pinged me with yesterday. Using Google, see what results from a search for ["DNA is known for"]. David found some interesting ones from a search for ["Scientists are known for"].

DNA is known for…

• its complex mosaic structure
• catching criminals for crimes committed decades and decades ag
• its immunostimulatory activity in vertebrates

And another fun Google Meme I saw at minutiae - go to Google, type in your name + “needs” and see what pops up.

DNA needs…

• the shade
• to stand up and be counted
• to be protected by law
• to be slowed down
• to be genetically resistant but also adaptive
• to undergo change

OK. OK. I’ll stop wasting time now.
