Dr. Dunstons Lecture

The lecture presented by Dr. Georgia Dunston was very inspiring. I think she did a very good job in the way that she delivered the message. Dr. Dunston was able to touch on a lot of different topics and facts that I never knew about. She was able to present the information in a way that I was able to actually take in and interpret. She was a very good speaker and she was able to keep my attention throughout the whole lecture. I was impressed by all of Dr. Dunston accomplishments. Dr. Dunston has accomplished a lot in here life time. Dr. Dunston was the founder of the national human genome research center and also a professor and former chair of the department of microbiology and graduate adjunct professor the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Howard University. That’s a lot to jungle for one person, and the fact that she did is very impressive. The one thing that she talked about that I really took in the most, was when she was talking about the genomes. I had never really understood the makeup of genomes. She was able to break it down and explain it in a very cool way. She explained that genomes were exactly like record books. Record books went way back into our time as people, and African Americans especially. The main concept in the lecture to me was that knowledge is very important. Knowledge and wisdom are one of the same. They go together like peanut butter and jelly.
