Feature Events
Through May 4
Genome: The Secret of How Life Works, Health Museum: Scientists have mapped the human genome, a person’s entire set of genes. These are the codes that make us who we are and influence what we might become. They give us a clue about how our descendents might look, and show us what we have in common with a potato. For more information, call 713-521-1515 or visit www.thehealthmuseum.org.
May 23-25
