Dr. Georgia M. Dunston lectured our class and informed us about the importance of our Genome. She connected knowledge and biology in such a unique way by relating it to our human identity. The genome makes the individual, and everyone's genome is different from everyone else's by .1%. This percentage may seem low, but it makes a remarkable difference. Not even twins have the same genome. She also went on to talk about how our genome shapes the way we think, dress, act and carry ourselves and without the genome individuality is lost.
Dr. Dunston held my attention throughout the entire lecture. She was very inspiring and passionate, which made it very easy to follow her. She also provoked a deeper level of thought within myself, as I began to think of just how unique my individuality truly is. Usually we just live day to day without truly understanding or appreciating how different we are from one another. This lecture made me more conscious of how I carry myself and how I should watch what I say, as my words represent who I am. Overall, I really enjoyed Dr. Dunston's lesson and I have a greater appreciation for my individuality.
