A week from tomorrow I face my daughter’s grade 1 class to talk about my job so if anyone has any nifty ideas for communicating DNA to 6 year olds I am all ears.  I have used the IKEA parts-list analogy for other lay audiences, and one of my coworkers who works in public education has forwarded some kick-ass ideas, but if anyone else happens along this post with some ideas I would be grateful.  My wife thinks I’m going to bomb.
