Trieste
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 29th 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 29th 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 1st 2010.
In memory of this great man
of science and culture,
the Arturo's Helix event will give the opportunity to
families with
children over 8 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.
