Khan Academy Partners Up With 23andMe To Make Learning About Genetics Fun

23andmekhanIt's 4/20, and you know exactly what that means: It's National DNA Day! (What, were you expecting something else?)Yep -- this is the official day to commemorate the 1953 publishing of the first scientific paper on the double-helix structure of DNA, which was famously co-authored by James Watson and Francis Crick (with the sometimes overlooked contributions of others.)Anyway, to celebrate, educational non-profit powerhouse Khan Academy has announced a partnership with personal genetics testing company 23andMe to "promote the importance of genetics education." Specifically, this means that Khan Academy's website now has educational videos produced by 23AndMe on topics such as Genetics 101.
