*Special science activity for families at Immaginario Scientifico*

*in memory of Arturo Falaschi *

*/Great interest for “Arturo's Helix”, the science lab for families 
about genetics and DNA,/*

*/held on Sunday the 29^th of May at Immaginario Scientifico in Trieste/*

We know that the DNA molecule determines many traits of our body & mind 
(and even which diseases we are prone to catch), yet how many of us have 
ever seen it "live"? You can do it on *Sunday the 29^th of May, at 
15.00* at the Immaginario Scientifico Science Centre of Trieste in a 
special laboratory aimed at families on the subject of molecular genetics.

This special event is named */Arturo's Helix/*/,/ after *Arturo 
Falaschi*, Director of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering 
and Biotechnology in Trieste and Molecular Biology Professor at the 
Scuola Normale in Pisa, departed on June 1^st2010.

In memory of this great man of science and culture, the /Arturo's Helix/ 
event will give the opportunity to families with children over8 to 
experience the DNA extraction from a plant tissue, using a simple 
technique and "ingredients" of everyday life. This involving, informal 
teaching activity has aroused a great interest in the public of Trieste 
science centre and *has been fully booked*.
