Science Education Partner Daren Card: Knowing the DNA sequence of an organism is only the first step in understanding how it all works. Join me as I illuminate how scientists can use evolution’s tendency to repeat itself— known as convergent evolution—to better understand the links between genetics and the physical traits we observe in nature. This video is part of our Virtual Scientist in a Classroom program: https://hmnh.harvard.edu/virtual-scientist-classroom. School teachers may be able to arrange a live and Q&A session with this presenter.
