Thank you to UB Now for their great coverage of Professor Anne Burnidge's "Dancing DNA: Embodying the Human Genome" course which explores the commonalities between movements that occur at the molecular level in DNA and movements that exist in the whole body while experiencing and creating dance. The class is the brainchild of Jennifer Surtees, associate professor in the Department of Biochemistry, and Anne Burnidge, associate professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance, who aimed to use their diverse intellectual backgrounds in STEM and dance to increase scientific accessibility among students.
