Andy came home early from work today so we could make it to the Field Museum (in the rain) in time for a 5:30 talk on DNA sequencing. We had some drinks and a light dinner of bacon cheese quich before the talk started.
The main talk.
Andy in the DNA lab. I'm not sure what he's looking at. It was all pretty much above me.
One of the labs we got to tour.
A scientist put a sample of lichen in liquid nitrogen. Then he added something to it and he'll be able to see the DNA tomorrow. Like I said, it's more biology than I can comprehend.
The scientist trying to explain DNA sequencing to us. At least we met our friends, S and B, from church so we got to talk to them during the dinner time.
