Join us as we welcome Amanda Serenevy, Executive Director of Riverbend Community Math Center, for an interactive presentation on the intersection of mathematics and our DNA!

Two ropes plus two dance moves equals a fascinating mathematical puzzle!  Working as a group, we will use fractions to undo intertwined ropes without seeing the tangle.  This dance is also a mathematical model that relates to contemporary DNA research.  At the end, we will brainstorm questions about the puzzle that could lead to new discoveries, and talk a bit about what it means to be creative in the discipline of mathematics.
