| The Genetics Club has a copy of Scanning Life's Matrix . We give it ten stars. Amazing! Meet the scientists who are doing cutting edge genetic science. Hear them talk about how they became scientists and what classes they took in high school. Not what you would expect. Also has a great discussion between scientists and high school science teachers about what a scientist does and what science education teaches and how to get students excited about science. |
