Gary Cass Visit

June 14, 2017

Gary Cass visited Year 12 Human Biology students last week and they learnt how to test and match DNA fingerprints.

Students ran gel electrophoresis with real DNA fingerprints to find out if the suspects were guilty or innocent.

Gary Cass is passionate about creativity in science. He argues that creativity is as important as numeracy and literacy. He founded Fermented Fashion, a Perth-based company that has developed couture made from beer and wine. He gives various Tedx Talks.
