Science on Screen ®JURASSIC WORLD AND THE SCIENCE OF RNA
Tuesday, April 28th at 7:30 PM
with a presentation on RNA by Thomas Gingeras Ph.D, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
$18 Public | $11 Members
Join us for a mind-expanding exploration of the science of RNA with a screening of the thrilling 2015 entry to the legendary Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World, and a discussion on RNA with Thomas Gingeras Ph,D of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Set 20 years after the disaster at Jurassic Park, the Jurassic World luxury resort provides a habitat for an array of genetically engineered dinosaurs, including the vicious and intelligent Indominus rex. When the massive creature escapes, it sets off a chain reaction that causes the other dinos to run amok. Now, it's up to veteran and animal expert (Chris Pratt) to use his special skills to save two young brothers and the rest of the tourists from an all-out, prehistoric assault.

Thomas Gingeras Ph,D is a Professor and Cancer Center Member at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Only a small portion of the RNAs encoded in any genome are used to make proteins. His lab investigates what these noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) do within and outside of cells, where regulators of their expression are located in the genome. This is particularly important in cancer. This laboratory works on endometrial cancer and its relationship to age and obesity.
