ellen d. jorgensen spoke about heather dewey-hagborg’s work, and the difference between a scientist talking about it versus the visceral experience of an artist presenting it.
she showed us a video of stranger visions.
ellen d. jorgensen spoke a little bit about dna.
the double helix shows two pairs. each pair as one of the two pairs:
- a → g
- t → c
because of this, you can reconstruct a piece of dna by just looking at one of the proteins present and find the other one (it’ll always be the other in the pair).
ellen d. jorgensen said ==everything has brownian motion ==.
a cell’s nucleus contains 6-ft of this dna.
when you eat, 20 of amino acids get put together.
cells keep splitting in the body. little parts of dna are cut off (tulimeers). radiation also causes loss of genes.
^ drew berry’s videos.
science confronts the past and makes people uncomfortable. especially prevalent in the native-american article.
i spoke about how science forces you to believe while art doesn’t (and, therefore, we can get away with more than what scientists can). heather dewey-hagborg said it also relates to risk: there is higher risk or implications when a scientist says something.
spoke about kevin esvelt’s gene drive proposition.
