Upper School Biology Students Conduct DNA Damage Experiments
Upper School Biology students participated in DNA damage experiments, exposing different strains of yeast to a variety of forms of radiation and stress to see if some common student practices cause damage to cells of the human body. Some of the tests included the impact of screens (phone and computer) on cells, a comparison of spray vs. cream sunscreen, the effect of watching your food in a microwave, and the impact of a variety of household products and beverages.
