What does DNA mean to you? #1
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted April 16, 2008 in DNA in General, Meaning of DNA
Today, I’m starting a new series of mini-interviews asking one simple question:
What does DNA mean to you?
Writer David Bradley of Sciencebase is first up with his thoughts:
DNA means one of my early successes (at the age of 18) in the public understanding of science, when I explained to my non-science educated father the meaning of the term and why it is so important for our understanding of life.
