SUMMARY:National DNA Day Scavenger Hunt on Main Street
LOCATION:
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nDNA.  Every living thing has it.  It helps us understand our shared his
 tory.  And, what we are learning today about DNA is shaping the future of o
 ur world from healthcare to agriculture, the environment and even the econo
 my. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNational DNA Day Scavenger Hunt in Cold Spring Harbor Vil
 lage: An afternoon of fun for elementary school children and their families
 ! \n\n\n \n\n\nTake your kids and grandkids on a scavenger hunt to discover
  the rich history of Cold Spring Harbor Village and its special connection 
 to DNA. The hunt will guide you through village landmarks including The Wha
 ling Museum, The Firehouse Museum, The Cold Spring Harbor Library and Envir
 onmental Center and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's DNA Learning Center (DN
 ALC). In addition to hands-on activities, clues will be hidden around the v
 illage. These locations will be open to scavenger hunt participants from 12
 :00am-4:00pm on Saturday April 20, 2013.\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe DNA Day Scavenge
 r Hunt starts at the DNA Learning Center (334 Main Street) where you may pi
 ck up your map and questions – and take part in your first hands-on activit
 y and ends at the Cold Spring Harbor Library (95 Harbor Road). Along the wa
 y, stop, shop and snack at the stores throughout the village. Parking is av
 ailable along Main Street, in the parking lot in Cold Spring Harbor Village
  and at the public library.\n\n\n\nAt your first tour stop at the DNALC, vi
 ew the following 30-minute films:\n  \n DNA: The Secret of Life: 12:30 pm &
  2:30 pm\n \n This presentation combines stunning animations and visual eff
 ects to chronicle the story of James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery o
 f the DNA structure. Their 1953 discovery changed biology and has far-reach
 ing impacts and implications for science research and human health and gene
 tics.\n\n Long Island Discovery 1:00 pm & 3:00 pm\n \n Created by Cablevisi
 on, Long Island Discovery (LID) is a multimedia presentation on the history
  of Long Island.  LID chronicles the colorful history of the people, places
 , and events that shaped Long Island's history: from the massive glaciers t
 hat etched its landscape and determined its geography, to the ever-evolving
  communities that indelibly mark their residents with the lessons of life. 
 At the same time, Long Island Discovery speaks to the future - to the child
 ren who are learning to respect their rich, common heritage and preserve it
  for generations to come.\n\n\n \n\n\nDNA Day is celebrated across the coun
 try, with educational events sponsored by the National Human Genome Researc
 h Institute (NHGRI), a part of the National Institutes of Health. The day c
 ommemorates the completion of the Human Genome Project in April 2003 and th
 e discovery of DNA's double helix – events closely tied to the world-famous
  biomedical research laboratory in our backyard, Cold Spring Harbor Laborat
 ory.\n\n\n\n\nFor information on other ways to celebrate National DNA Day v

 links to the DNALC website. Of particular interest for young DNA sleuths ar
 e two programs that can be accessed from www.dnalc.org or individually: DNA
  From The Beginning at  www.dnaftb.org and DNA Interactive at www.dnai.org.
