In honor of my husband, who is a scientist in molecular genetics,
HAPPY DNA DAY!
DNA Day is a holiday that commemorates the day in 1953 when James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin and colleagues published papers in the journal Nature on the structure of DNA. (source: wikipedia)
Woo hoo for the double helix!
...and here's my brilliant husband at work! (He was recently recognized as an inventor for a method for quantifying fetal DNA in maternal plasma for non-invasive prenatal diagnostics. This will allow for testing for many genetic defects and anomalies that currently you have to wait well into the second trimester for testing and results! ...and Kaia and I got to be his guinea pigs in the process!)
