Biology Excursion to Parkville

Year 12 Biology had a day trip to the Gene Technology Access Centre in Parkville learning about DNA manipulation, including how vaccines are made and how to insert genes into bacteria that make them glow. We learned heaps about all the applications of what we are currently learning.
