Laughing at DNA? Seriously, It Could Happen to You

He may have already gone through Francis Collins and Craig Venter, but Stephen Colbert outdid himself for our community last night with a full half-hour special called "DNA: Could It Happen to You?" Spencer Wells, who heads up the National Genographic Project, was a guest on the show and seemed to enjoy his stint teaching Colbert about haplogroups. If you've got a few minutes, be sure to check out this video of Wells' visit -- and if you have a little more time, check out this list of recent videos to see the full complement of DNA-based comedy from last night's show.
