Back to School with: Alex Dainis (Geneticist/Science Educator)

“There’s so much activity happening inside me just to keep me alive.”

Mr. DNA where did you come from?? On the final 2025 Back To School series episode of See Jurassic Right, we chat with geneticist and science educator, Alex Dainis, all about the wonderful world of Deoxyribonucleic acid aka DNA! We look at how Jurassic Park and the OJ Simpson trial brought DNA to the forefront of pop culture in the 90s, dig more into the “Direwolf” de-extinction situation, chat humanizing the audience for scientists, and so much more!
