2022 Public Lecture Series

 

 

The UW Department of Genome Sciences played an important role in determining the sequence of the 3 billion letters of DNA specifying all of our hereditary information and is now one of the leading centers where the human genome is being interpreted and where new technologies for this analysis are being developed.

To share these advances with the public the Department of Genome Sciences hosts a 'Wednesday Evenings at the Genome' public lecture series each summer. These exciting discussions assume no background knowledge in genetics or other biological subjects and provide opportunities to chat with our presenters. Admission is free.

The DNA Café: Ice Cream Social
Presenters will use the café as an accessible metaphor to talk about Genomics.
Ice cream and refreshments will be provided.

Presentations will begin at 7pm in the Vista Café - South Foege. Please RSVP: Reserve A Table.

July 13 - The DNA Menu
Place your Ice Cream Sundae order from the DNA Menu. Research panelists will discuss their research into the mysteries of DNA.

August 10 - Can I Take Your RNA Order?
How do we figure out what ice cream "gene" orders are most popular? How might mRNA vaccines prevent Vegetable Virus Invasions? Research panelists will discuss their research into RNA and gene expression.

August 17 - Building a Better Sundae
In DNA Café Ice Cream Sundaes represent proteins in the cell. How do we measure ice cream "proteins" when they melt so easily? Research panelists will discuss their research into protein and mass spectrometry.
