> Cultural Role - the impact of the existence of DNA on culture As fundamental as the impact of the existence of DNA on bacterial culture, I'd say?! Maybe knowledge and aesthetic appreciation of DNA's existence are another matter? Our "two (human) cultures" seem to be divided by a language barrier as much as anything else. But is it "WELLCOME"-ing for us to make fun of foreign accents? Maybe our own language of scientific precision sometimes has a cold, heartless, alienating ring when heard on the other side of this cultural Iron Curtain. We sometimes need to bear in mind what we can sound like when we speak it abroad, don't we? ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ Ian Russell :-)nteractive Science Ltd, UK Useful quote: - "Facts do not speak."
