DNALC Live: Kitchen Science: Bubbling Liver DNALC Live: Kitchen Science: Bubbling Liver
When: 3:00 pm - 3:45 pm
Summary:
The liver is an organ that detoxifies chemicals. All vertebrate organisms have livers! However, many of us do not know how the liver handles these molecules. Join DNALC instructor Mike Paul to find out how the liver breaks hydrogen peroxide into chemicals that are not harmful to living things.

DNALC Live: Vertebrate Biology Part I: Reptiles and Amphibians DNALC Live: Vertebrate Biology Part I: Reptiles and Amphibians
When: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
Join DNALC educator Jeff Petracca and the staff of the Long Island Aquarium for an introduction to the diversity of reptiles and amphibians, and learn about the interesting behavioral and structural adaptations that have allowed them to occupy so many different types of ecosystems!
Venue/location:
DNALC Live: Industrial Enzymology DNALC Live: Industrial Enzymology
When: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Summary:
Join DNALC instructor Brittany Johnson to learn how cells use genetic instructions to create thousands of different proteins. We’ll focus on a group of proteins called enzymes that act as catalysts in cells and perform an experiment that demonstrates how we can harness the power of enzymes in industry.

DNALC Live: Webinar: Teaching Biotech from a Distance - DNA barcoding in a regulated environment DNALC Live: Webinar: Teaching Biotech from a Distance - DNA barcoding in a regulated environment
When: 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Summary:
DNA barcoding is a popular technique for undergraduate research projects. In this webinar, Dr. Linnea Fletcher (Austin Community College, InnovATEBIO) will describe how this technique can be adapted for use in biotechnology education programs by incorporating principles of working in a regulated environment such as GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices).
