Katie wants a summary of my science with less science. I think less science means less awesome... but whatever.
1) Sometimes DNA gets messed up, like by UV light, which is why you should wear sunscreen.
2) Cells have proteins that fix the DNA. When those proteins don't work, you either age really fast, or get cancer all over.
3) I'm studying one of those proteins, called XPD. I'm trying to purify it, and make crystals of it, so I can take a picture of it, and thereby see how it works.
4) There were small children in lab coats in the lab today.
