Come learn about genetics and RNA interference from the winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in medicine, for advances in gene silencing - a process that allows cells to selectively turn off specific genes. Research in this area jump-started a new biological field by opening the door to previously inaccessible lodes of genetic information - The Commonwealth Club
