DNA Wins Animator Emmy Award
Yet another problem with living in a developing country like Vietnam is the lack of access to quality TV. I am so disappointed to have missed DNA (some animations at this link), a five-episode documentary series, that was created by Drew Berry, an animator who just won an Emmy Award for the DNA Project.
In addition to the series, the DNA Project includes:
- “DNA: The Secret of Life”, a 30 minute film focusing on the discovery of the DNA double helix, the structure and science of the molecule, and the future of genomics research. The film’s intended target audience is 12 year olds through to adult, and will be screened at museums around the world;
- DNAi.org, the DNA education web portal, providing interactive DNA science learning resources to teachers and students, including downloadable versions of the animations, a 3D guided tour of the genomic landscape, and provocative interviews with eminent scientists and Nobel Laureates.
- The “DNA” DVD designed for classroom exploration, containing a comprehensive selection of the animations, interviews and other materials from the DNA Project.
Anyone want to get me the DNA DVD for Christmas?
