Explore ways to think about and work with DNA, the stuff that’s the leading “genetic recipe card” of life on Earth. We’ll start with the Paradox of the DNA Tube in which you’ll analyze a sample of highly-purified DNA, then you’ll extract DNA glop from wheat germ, and finally you’ll build a model of single-stranded DNA that shows how DNA is a lot like an alphabet that can spell (and misspell) genetic information. We’ll discuss your ideas about the roles of DNA science in food, health, environment, ethics, law and justice.

In this hands-on session you will need to bring a few items to complete the tasks but you will learn basic floral design to make a beautiful floral arrangement for that end table or a center piece to brighten your home with ditch plants or drying end of summer perennials. You will also learn how easy it is to flavor vinegars with garlic and herbs to spice-up your fall salads and dishes! This workshop will require a minimal amount of material & plant preparation in advance of Fall Forum. Participants should be prepared to provide some basic food items, including vinegars, oil, and herbs.
Here are examples and ideas of items you may want to bring- you do not need to bring them all- just the ones you are wanting to use:
Flavored Vinegar Activity:
1 Bottle of Red or White Wine Vinegar. Can use apple cider vinegar too (Recommended amounts 8- 16 ounces)
Fresh cut or dried herbs. Black, white, or red pepper corns, red or other hot peppers, or garlic bulbs can be added too.
Fall Floral Arrangement Activity:
Flower Vase about 6-10" tall. Prefer wider bottom and narrow top
Marbles, rocks, or sand etc for weight in bottom of vase
Dried weeds, flower stems, etc anything you would like to add to use in doing an arrangement. Be Creative!! Can use grasses, or what you find growing along roadside or in your own flower beds.
