Unlocking Ancient Stories with DNA: The newest part of the Virtual STEM Career Showcase experience, this interactive program will explore how DNA can be used to uncover stories of people who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago. See how it is possible to go from bones to DNA sequences and finally, reconstruct the story behind the bones. Explore Ӧtzi the Iceman, a 5000-year-old mummy found in a glacier in the Alps. Using DNA sequences, discover what he looked like, what he may have eaten, diseases he may have had, and more. Piece together his story, reconstruct his life, and share what you discover.
