You may have read about one of my favorite artists of all time, my daughter Emma, in this blog post.
She's at it again! She's taking a laboratory science class at college this quarter and in class they extracted some of their own DNA and captured it in this necklace.
Cool! It was a very simple process to extract this DNA - kitchen table science, there are lots of how tos available with a quick Google search. She extracted the DNA from cells from the inside of her cheek. The biggest issue is being sure to get enough cells to start with. What about a line of personalized jewelry where people send you cheek cells, the DNA is extracted and sent back to them in a glass vial necklace? The nerdy scientist in me is just thinking out loud here...
