• Impending DNA presentation to 8th graders...

  I've done the experiment (at home DNA extraction from an onion - uses
  household chemicals...you can do it if you want) for several college
  level courses. I am somewhat leery about doing it for 240 8th graders
  (8 classes of 30 kids each)....simply because I find them much harder
  to talk to.

  I'm also leery of giving my thesis defense - the normal people version, not the one I gave for my professors....

  I'm unsure how much and what specifically to tell them....

  And, ye gods, how to keep from swearing like a sailor...
