STUDENTS at Sir John Deane’s College were given the chance to delve into the world of DNA at a special workshop led by John Schollar, one of the UK’s leading scientists.
John, who is assistant director at the National Centre for Biotechnology Education, based at Reading University, spent two days at the college holding DNA workshops for around 100 A-level students from the sixth form college and St Nicholas High School, Hartford.
John helped the students examine mitochondrial DNA extracted from their own cells.
