Catholic Schoolgirls Unravel DNA

Wired News: Catholic Schoolgirls Unravel DNA: "Sister Mary Jane Paolella, of Sacred Heart Academy, an all-girls Roman Catholic high school in Hamden, Connecticut. She wasn't here on a sightseeing trip. Paolella showed up with her students to make an official presentation of DNA sequencing data that her honors biotechnology class generated from genes associated with osteoporosis."

Nice to see that religion need not preclude science, even in contentious areas. Although being Catholic, studying DNA is a safe choice since followers will make sure there is more and more of it going round.
