Genetics 101

Happy DNA Day!

by Jo Becerra 1 min read

As a self proclaimed Genetics Nerd, DNA Day holds a special place in my heart!

Last year to celebrate the day, I shared a post about DNA configurations. I explained that DNA is a flexible molecule that can bend in different ways. It also has a beautiful cross-section, which was my inspriation for my Relevant Genetics logo.

This year, I've taken those images of DNA and turned them into coloring pages that the whole family can enjoy. I think we all could use a little calming, nerdy activity right now.

Ooooooo! Aaaaaaah! My work in the middle, my daughter's (5) on the right.

You can download the pages here. Don't forget to share your finished product (#DNAday2020 and #ShowOffYourGenes). I'd love to see your work!

A big thank you to Brianne Kirkpatrick of Watershed DNA for giving me the idea! You can read all about Brianne's DNA Day celebrations in her blog post, here.
