After Dark: Identity

Identify yourself: What defines you against, or within, the context of others? From cells to self-image, take a good look at the biological, psychological, and sociocultural circumstances of our individual and collective identities. Explore the human microbiome with its shifting boundaries between "us" and "them." Learn about genetic counseling, and watch cardiac myocyte cells beat in sync with your own heart. Take a "cellfie" of your own cells, and learn the history Henrietta Lacks, whose immortal line of HeLa cells have helped save thousands of lives. Hear tales of mistaken, taken, and reclaimed identities, and delve into some intriguing ways we mark ourselves as similar, or different, from others.
