National DNA Day, 2018, BackStory Genealogy Series
As part of our Back Story genealogy series for National DNA Day, joining us today is well known, widely respected, Dr. Carla Easter, NIH Chief of Education, below left.
National DNA Day commemorates the successful completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 and the discovery of DNA’s double helix in 1953. NHGRI began celebrating DNA Day annually on April 25, 2003 after the 108th Congress passed concurrent resolutions designating it as DNA Day. The goal of National DNA Day is to offer students, teachers and the public an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the latest advances in genomic research and explore how those advances might impact their lives.
