I’d love to say I jump at the chance of being educated, but really anything that would take me longer than five minutes to digest goes in one ear and out the other. If you are like me, then look no further. Brought to you by the BBC, Will Samuel and Territory Studio have created a bite-size chunk of knowledge which outlines the basic structure of DNA and the repercussions of our understanding of genetic engineering. Using simple graphics, Will harks back to school textbooks while keeping it engaging with a consistent flow of insights. Now excuse me while I go genetically modify my cat…
