Online Museum Exhibit: Understanding Genetics

by Hsien Hsien Lei, PhD on August 18th, 2005

On the list of places I want to go next month when I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area visiting relatives is The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. In addition to the Genetics: Technology with a Twist real-life exhibit, they have an online exhibit, Understanding Genetics: Human Health and the Genome, with:

  • A feature story on genetics and health
  • Real images of cells, chromosomes and DNA from 100X to 900,000X
  • Interactive eye color genetic calculator
  • A piece on genetically modified food
  • A peek inside the Stanford Human Genome Center
  • Weekly question-and-answer session with a geneticist (you can ask me a question here at the Genetics and Public Health Blog anytime)

I’ll report back next month when I’ve had a chance to go to the Tech Museum in person.

ETA: I went to the Tech Museum in early October.
