Waiting for the Geeks

Lower Wallingford’s Institute for Systems Biology took over Fremont’s Waiting for the Interurban Tuesday, hanging inflatable DNA strands and giving the would-be passengers some light reading to pass the time:  copies of a recently published Science journal article about ISB’s work sequencing the genome of a family of four.  Read about it here.

Or better yet — go see ISB founder Leroy Hood present “Genomics 101”  at Town Hall Wednesday evening, 5/5 .  Tickets are $5 through Brown Paper Tickets.  Hood will summarize the Human Genome Project, tie that into current research, and present his vision for the future of science and health care technology.
