Do you know your code?

I went to see the new exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History "Genome, unlocking life's code", because I'm such a science geek.

This mannequin represents the genome within us and the exhibit explains the role genomics plays in modern life. It was interesting, the few interactive stations were very popular, but overall a little disappointing maybe because I'm a scientist and I expected a more extensive exhibit.

In any case, I respect the effort to educate the non scientists about the new applications of genomics and how it is applied to improve the life of so many people.
