The Ragas Report

We spent a lot of time exploring the German U-505 submarine, impressed with its size, the history of its capture during World War II, and how the submarine was installed into the museum.  We checked out the genetics exhibit where Matt was selected as a volunteer to demonstrate how to collect your DNA (mainly, just swish salt water around in your mouth, put the swished water into a beaker, put in some rubbing alcohol and gently swish the beaker and watch your DNA appear).  We also saw little baby chicks entering the world, admired the model of Chicago and Seattle's downtown and played with the latest in farming technology (milking a cow has never been easier!). 

All in all - a fun day learning more about science and industry (though we both agreed we liked the industry part the best!)
