UBC

I am way behind blogging here.  Today just thought I would add a few pictures from our field trip to the Michael Smith labs at UBC.  What a great day what with learning about mimicry, learning how science fiction uses real science, creating your own creatures, isolating your own DNA, and writing Choose Your Own Adventure stories it was great.  And I know some of you loved the UBC bookstore! 

Learning how to take a DNA sample!

Waiting to see what DNA looks like!

Working on the Choose Your Own Adventure flash fiction...

Now who would think you would be writing in a lab?!  You can see the creative juices simmering!

  Looking at examples of mimicry!

Graduate student is checking out your writing.  You met lots of scientists yesterday-maybe one day you will be studying genetics at UBC!

Rajveer and Alfred hard at work on their story...

Then we got to hear and choose the adventures!!!













And our last sighting at UBC was that giant blue whale skeleton
