| Event: | SS-15 GENETICS FOR THE NON-SCIENTIST | | Dates: |
Starts on May 2nd, 2011 and occurs
every week on
Mondays until May 16th, 2011.
| | Time: | cancelled | | Category: | S Spring | | Contact: | June Johnson, Presenter | cancelled This course is intended to make understandable to non-scientists the genetic revolution which according to Dr. Eric Lander of the Whitehead Institute is 'equal to or greater than the Copernican revolution'! In high school or college, most of us got no further than Mendel; we really did not know what DNA was, let alone explain where in our cells it was located and the function it served. So perhaps now is the time for you to fill in those blanks and be brought up to date on the myriad of ethical issues that face us now that scientists can manipulate embryos and create tissues from stem cells. Class size is limited to 20
