Science 4 all at the botanical garden of Padova
Ready to start! For two days the university of Padova will share the science with the non university public in Padova. I contributed to a very nice event organized by the Department of Biomedical Sciences, to extract the DNA from a... banana! I saw many young reserachers (7-12 years old) interested and excited to destroy the banana cells and to so a loooong DNA emerging into the solution. It is a very easy experience that everyone can do at home with common items, just dish soap, salt, water and "pink" alchool. But if you want to know the procedure you had better to come to the event and listen the nice explanation of Giorgia! Every young scientist had the possibility to bring the DNA home.
