I had long pictured working with DNA to be some abstract and complicated process that took place in far off labs by very experienced scientists. Working with undergraduate students at Brooklyn College, though, they would tell me about their work with DNA and it seemed so common to them.
The other day I found the following video and was struck by the innovative work that high school students were doing. Not only are they working with what seemed to me to be a very advanced subject, but they are using their knowledge for something beneficial to the world, and groundbreaking.
I appreciated when one student pointed out that
“this is just a regular biology class… everything we are learning is completely relevant.”
