So what is the 98% composed of\, where does it come from\, and what does it do? Sarah Schaack\, PhD\, assistant professor o f biology at Reed College will take you on a guided tour through the gen omic landscape of some fully sequenced plants and animals\, including hu mans. Her talk will explore the recent heated debate among biologists s urrounding "\;junk DNA"\;\, its utility (or lack thereof)\, and why bigger isn't necessarily better\, at least when it comes to genome s ize. \;\n_________ \;\n \;\nScience on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back\, enjoy a pint\, and laugh while you lear n. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and aro und the world. You don’t have to be a science geek to have fun—all you n eed is a thirst for knowledge! \;\n_________ \;\n \;\nScience on Tap at the Kiggins is produced in partnership with Washington State U niversity Vancouver. \;\n_________ \;\n \;\n*A note on the sugg ested cover at the door: Science on Tap is supported\, in part\, by mone y collected at the door. We are committed to offering educational opport unities to adults who want to learn\, so if $10 is a hardship for you\, please come anyway and donate what you can. \;\n\n\nTags: beer\, sci ence\, lecture\, DNA\, genes\, education\n\nImported from: http://calaga tor.org/events/1250467941 URL:http://www.viaproductions.org/events/kiggins_apr_15_dna/ SUMMARY:Science on Tap - Genomic Controversies LOCATION:Kiggins Theatre: 1011 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA\, Vancouver W A 98660 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
