Commemorating the Discoveries that Defined Modern Science
Celebrate National DNA Day with us as we honor two landmark achievements in genetics: the 73rd anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix (1953) and the 23rd anniversary of the completion of the Human Genome Project (2003).
Step into the fascinating world of genetics and explore the molecules that shape all living things through hands‑on activities, interactive exhibits, and engaging experiences. Whether you’re a curious student, a family looking for a meaningful outing, or a science enthusiast drawn to breakthroughs in DNA research, this celebration offers something to spark everyone’s curiosity.
Families and students can enjoy hands-on DNA activities, meet scientists from the Texas Medical Center and the Space Center of Houston, and explore “The Journey to End Cancer” exhibition.
