About Us
We're an organization focused on bringing the advances of science to everyday people. We do this through in-person classes as well as our online platforms that educate, communicate, and question how the use of DNA can be relevant to you.

Meet the Staff


David McAndrew
Genetics and Genomics Education Specialist
I'm a former NY State certified teacher, lab scientist, and scientific consultant whose work outside the classroom has focused on DNA synthesis and the development and application of next generation DNA sequencing technologies. I'm passionate about connecting the everyday individual with the advances happening in science around the world, and most of all in inspiring youth to explore their passions and think, act, and become scientists themselves. My goal is to remind every one of the wonders of the universe that are happening around them every day and, as a partner, guide them in using genomics to explore that world.
