World of Genomics

World of Genomics turns the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry into a hands-on science fair centered on DNA and genetics, with activity stations on robotics, agriculture, and microbes. Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology lead the experiments and games, making it a solid option for families or anyone curious about modern biology. It runs Monday, October 12, from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM and is included in general admission.
