Historical anniversary project:
The Genetics Society Centenary

The Genetics Society will be celebrating their 100 year anniversary in 2019 in the UK. As part of their celebration, I created an unconventional formal structure – a 219 page flip book that animates the process of DNA replication using type as image. DNA replication forms the very foundation of genetics and the sciences which in turn unlocks the key to life.

The flip book is intended to be distributed at the 2019 Genetics Society Conference in London, England as part of the welcome swag bag.
