 Muse: Data in Hiding
When Viviana Risca was a high school student in Port Washington, New York, she found a way to hide secret messages among DNA molecules.
Working with researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, Risca created a single strand of DNA made up of a sequence of bases corresponding to the letters of a message.
These are chemical units called bases, and there are only four of them: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine—abbreviated A, T, G, and C. Normally, sets of three bases specify part of a protein, the molecules that do most of the work in a living creature.

Russell’s colliery interests seem to have been plagued by a series of disasters and loss of life (it was said that his collieries were so prone to accidents that he had to bring men from Somerset to work for him).
The Risca Blackvein disaster was a great human and a severe financial loss and George Randle Hookey lost everything.

Despite being unable to totally clear their lines, all the players did their bit in holding up a determined Risca final effort, and it was with great relief when we heard the final whistle.
