As you know, on Tuesday, you'll be turning in Assignment O, where you pick a topic having to do with genes, genetics, DNA, genetic engineering, genetic research, genomes, genomics etc. (Hey look! I just gave you a good list of search terms!). For assignment O, you'll turn in an explanation of the topic, why you think it's interesting, and citations for two news articles about that topic. (You'll be finding even more articles on the topic next week.)
To help you find articles, here are some good places to look:
- Search Google News or Yahoo News for any of the search terms above
- Science News, the weekly science magazine.
- Articles collected by the NPR science news show Science Friday.
- Biology news from Scientific American.
- Science Daily.
- Science stories from the New York Times. (Try the "browse topics" menu on the right - the "genetic engineering" topic has lots of good stuff!)
- Articles from the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
