Genomic science is incredibly
complex. But there’s one simple fact that’s not shared often enough: our DNA
connects us to every other living thing on this planet.
I was going to wait until DNA Day (April 25th) to
release this fun (and free) little introduction to deoxyribonucleic acid and
genomic science. However, some educators,
certified genetic counselors, and friends convinced me to make it available
ahead of the day so it could be incorporated into lessons plans, events, etc.
So here it is. Download it, print it, and color it. And please be sure to share
the link with anyone who you think might benefit from learning a little more
about the tiny thin thread that connects us all.

It’s for ages 8 to adults. Adults? Yes, because, sadly, I have encountered too many grown-ups in my hereditary cancer advocacy who are genomically clueless.
