Imagine scanning DNA the same way you would scan barcodes at the grocery store. This ensures that the salmon you're paying for is really salmon, or the suspicious bug under your sink is really a cockroach. Professor Paul Hebert from the University of Guelph is developing what he calls "The Barcode of Life" and he's here today to tell us why.

MORE 2 FAMILY
Stepfamilies today are different from stepfamilies of the past. Not only are they more common, but life in today's stepfamily is considerably different than it was, say, fifty years ago. The fact that divorce rather than death is now the usual precursor to the creation of a stepfamily makes for a complex family environment. What are the dynamics of blended families? And what can a couple starting a new stepfamily do to help their children through the transition? Today's guests know. Yvonne Kelly is a registered social worker and a step mother, and Nina Josefowitz is a psychologist in private practice in Toronto. Call in with your questions and your stories.
