My Science Project 13-Dec-2007

There is an extensive repertoire of music derived from genetic and protein sequences. The sound is quirky and not-so-danceable, but a close listen can tell us a thing or two about the proteins themselves. We also find out why pregnant women don't fall over, why quitting can be good for you and why thinking about religion or civic responsibility can make you more generous. Oh, and some gift ideas for your favourite science geek.
