Gene Machine
11am-12pm
Is genetic profiling simply a fantasy of science fiction writers? This will be explored through a short play where a chat show host interviews the inventor of an instantaneous genetic analyzer. The drama will be followed by a group discussion – who would you want to have access to your biological data? 
 
Genes in a Bottle

Turn your own DNA into a unique pendant for use on a necklace or keychain in this hour long workshop. Find out what DNA is and sample your own cheek cells.
