CGC.nl at Science in the city

CGC's Mobile DNA-lab (Reizend DNA-lab) will be at the Domplein in a gigantic tent with several cool experiments from 1-5 pm.

The experiments are fun for kids and adults:

- Isolate your own DNA and take it home in a simple epp-necklaceIsolate your own DNA

- Find out whether sunscreen really works

 - Build your personal DNA-strand using candy as building stones

- Create colour explosions and learn how to use a pipet (ahum, like you need a lesson. See the picture for the cool effects though!)

Apart from the experiments there will be mini-lectures starting at 3pm and 4pm at the Winkel van Sinkel (balzaal). The lectures are in Dutch:
De lezingenreeks heet 'Klopt dat eigenlijk wel?' en gaat in op medische mythes en misverstanden. De sprekers zijn:

- Dr. Madelon Maurice: Stamcellen-crèmes

- Prof. Edwin Cuppen: Voorspellende waarde van DNA-testen

- Dr. Annelien Bredenoord: Designer-baby’s

- Dr. ir. Marc van Mil : Gouden pil tegen kanker
