    Or bore your your kid with a subscription to nature!

      I feel sorry for your kid then if they don't find science interesting…

        From the top of nature:

        "Autocorrect errors in Excel still creating genomics headache"

        Not exactly enthrilling.

    • Jenny Death on 17/08/2021 - 20:26

      I'm convinced anyone downvoting this doesn't understand why a subscription to nature would be a bad idea for an 8 year old.

      • Fredorishi on 17/08/2021 - 20:37

        Subscription to nature? I'm not really sure what you're on about, but I got a sub for my 13 year old the previous time it was put up here. He enjoyed the first one ok. I can think of more boring things to spend $55 on.

        • Jenny Death on 17/08/2021 - 22:01

          Nature is a research journal.
          "Why spend cash on double helix when you can bore your child instead by purchasing a subscription to the journal entitled Nature, published since the 19th century. Entailing exciting articles such as "Autocorrect errors in Excel still creating genomics headache" and "How the amino acid leucine activates the key cell-growth regulator mTOR" are sure to provide exciting fun for the entire family."

    Great little magazine. My year 3 daughter loves reading them.

      My year 3 daughter loves reading them.

      There is an interesting article this month on the development of mRNA vaccines, and there is an activity on genome sequencing the kids can perform on their parents….

      She will love it !!!

      • CoronavirusVaccine on 17/08/2021 - 16:28

        Without any substantiation my inkling is that it's much harder to make mRNA than just to throw a few million dollars at it. Politicians love these feel-good headlines but reality of making it happen is much harder. Any one with stronger science/biomedical background can share your thoughts?

        • jv on 17/08/2021 - 16:35

          that it's much harder to make mRNA than just to throw a few million dollars at it.

          It's around $50 million and will take around 12 months.

          • CoronavirusVaccine on 17/08/2021 - 16:53

            @jv: Moderna is US$150B with decades of research behind it. Sure it's not all COVID vac related and market is bloated. But it's hard to picture what AU$50M can do in 12 months. Is that purely just to put together a manufacturing facility and the licensing/IP costs are separate? No idea how much it costs to put together a mRNA manufacturing facility….. People/equipment must be very to expensive obtain right now.

              50 million…

              and the licensing/IP costs are separate?

              yep…

    Let's run an experiment whether the kids prefer these or some Noam Chomsky readings.

  • xyron on 17/08/2021 - 16:28

    Im pleasantly surprised this is still a thing. I've got great memories of being a member of Double Helix as a kid and going on all kinds of interesting excursions around Adelaide that they organised.

    • jv on 17/08/2021 - 16:36

      I thought you were being serious until I read the end of your sentence…

        This was back in the day when Adelaide actually had things like the Investigator Science Centre, the Holden car factory, and the West End brewery…:(
