Merry Christmas from the science department #wearenewhall #teamscience

[Science Department @NewHallScience]

The students in this team were inspired by more recent advancements in this technology which allow manipulation of DNA sequences, and thus biological synthesis molecules and how this should lead to a more sustainable Chemical industry.

Here is our winning #Chemistree from our internal Year 12 competition. The tree is made of lab equipment and recycled Christmas decorations and represents the structure of DNA. #ochemistree @DrJohnODonoghue

@DrJohnODonoghue This is a model of a single strand of DNA. Following work by pioneering scientists such as Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, many advancements have been made in regard to DNA.
