Scientific Youth Camp Monday, April 28, 2008
Posted by Garrett Lew in : Announcements, Random , comments closedI thought that you may be interested in the scientific youth camps organized by our non-profit association on various scientific themes for 7 to 18 year-old kids and teenagers.

We are hoping to reach all the kids and teenagers who like sciences and French speaking and we would be very grateful if you could pass on information about our association all around you (friends, family, colleagues, professors…)
There is the link to reach our center in Quebec province :

Weekend Project: Extract DNA from Anything Living Saturday, March 8, 2008
Posted by Rahul Sengupta in : News, Random , comments closed 
The University of Utah’s Institute of Human Genetics has posted instructions for an interesting little project that you can do at home: extract DNA from anything living. However, they discourage trying to extract DNA from such things as pets and body parts belonging to siblings.
You’ll need:
- A blender
- Some table salt
- Liquid detergen
- Meat tenderizer
- Rubbing alcohol
- DHMO
- Something that’s not a cat, dog, etc. that you want to get the DNA from
So, if you’re looking to procrastinate and want to do a totally random experiment this weekend, hit up their article.
