Here is a good example of how to make science interesting using everyday themes. On Wednesday (St Patrick’s Day) I saw a link on the White House website no less to the following online article about how genetic mutations lead to some clovers having four, or possibly more, leaves.

I look at the White House science pages now and then to see what is going on over in the USA.
I am sorry to say it is often a little uninspiring but I thought this was an amusing link. Thank you Mr Obama!
