But First, Science!: Episode 3: Mean Green Genes

We continue our popular video series, 'But First, Science!', brought to you by the Amgen Foundation and hosted by viral influencer, Alexis Nikole Nelson, best known on social media as @blackforager.
In episode 3, dive into DNA, genetics, Precision Medicine and veggies with Amgen’s very own Vivienne Watson. Alexis and Vivienne start in the great outdoors, gathering veggie specimens before conducting a tasting experiment to explore reactions to bitterness.
Since its establishment in 1990, the Amgen Biotech Experience program has reached over one million students across 16 countries, helping to bring biotechnology out of professional labs and into classrooms. Participating teachers benefit from rigorous professional development to deliver practical lessons in DNA analysis, gel electrophoresis and genetic engineering, helping students connect classroom theory to real scientific challenges.
