Fun and Easy Genetics

There are lots more where that came from: head to Stated Clearly to watch them all.

We even have a class on genetics coming up soon in Melbourne Knowledge Week: Do These Genes Make Me Look Fat? And if you get inspired to learn more about technology and science, we have a bunch of other classes that week on topics as varied as Stem Cells, Solar Power, and Space Travel.
