Over the years I have heard many times the quotes that involve opportunity and the prepared mind. Sometimes the quote says “Luck is the result of …..” and sometimes the quote says “Success is the result of …..”. Regardless, it the quote always end with “the prepared mind”.

If you are looking for a movie to rent, this week a good bet is “Race for the Double Helix”. That’s a movie that shows how James Watson and Francis Crick took advantage of their opportunity to work together, brainstorm ideas and eventually come up with success. This word cluster is based on my blog from a year ago that detailed the movie “Race for the Double Helix”.

As I mentioned in my last blog, Genome Alberta helps students in many ways to have that prepared mind. Three years ago, one of the local Genome Alberta award winners at a Regional Science Fair went on to be the top of the Canada-Wide Science Fair. This year, I have already been informed that two different Alberta Regionals are sending their Genome Alberta Top Senior projects to the Canada-Wide held in Winnipeg. Watch this blog for further details.
