It really warms my heart to see that high school kids are still doing science. =)
Brenda Tan and Matthew Cost, high school seniors from Trinity School in New York City, used a technique called DNA barcoding to find out what species were present in over 200 animal products. Their extracurricular experiment, which they completed with the help of Mark Stoeckle, of The Rockefeller University, suggests that buyers should beware!
When I caught this clip I was like, “well, I’ve done these before. How hard can it be?”
MUCH harder than I thought, apparently.
World Science Festival 2009: Bobby McFerrin Demonstrates the Power of the Pentatonic Scale
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
Everybody knows the notes, even without being told what they are.
Can you really doubt that we’re all very much the same after seeing something like this?
