The scientist is so happy to have volunteers, it's free! I only have to pay for a personal copy of the analysis (under $10).
There is a whole new field of genealogy that combines genealogy with DNA. If you've ever heard of Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak (yes, she married someone with the same last name), she's the standard bearer. She traced both her and her husband's lineage to a small town in Slovakia, where they found four main families of Smolenyaks. Somehow, she got a company to sponsor her, and she tested all of them. It turned out that there were only three branches of Smolenyaks, and the fourth were step-children/ancestors. This was about four years ago, so I'm going to hear her lecture in a few weeks, and hope there's an update.
Speaking about dinosaurs, if you're ever in Pittsburgh, Carnegie Museum has an amazing display! Off the top of my head, there's a complete T-Rex, an apotosaurus (sp), a stegasaurus, and two others, and several smaller incomplete ones. I think every kid in the surrounding counties have seen them on one field trip or another!
