Meet the scientists, be a scientist!

---

The activity starts with the CNIO presentation. A short talk (20 to 30 minutes) will be given by a CNIO investigator. We will introduce the CNIO, what we do, and how we investigate. In addition, there is a short video in which the CNIO director and some prestigious scientist talk about their experiences. Secondly, attendants will join the young researches at the CNIO to perform an experiment. We will obtain pure DNA from a biological sample using smashed tomato and common reagents you have at home. We will see the DNA floating into the test tube! The protocol is easily reproducible at home, and reflects one of the most repeated procedures we do at CNIO. Finally, visitors will have the chance to talk directly and personally to the CNIO researchers from different nationalities. We are willing to answer all your questions in a speed dating session.
