Congratulations to Professor Turi King on her new publication "The Secrets of our DNA: How Genetics has Changed the World". Available through Waterstones etc waterstones.com/book/the-secre… 'Unequivocally expert.' Sunday Times
I'm being awarded the @IHGS Julian Bickersteth Medal - awarded 'to persons who have made notable and exemplary contributions to family history studies'. I've been working in genetic genealogy for over 25 years so this is a lovely honour.
Congratulations to Professor Turi King on being awarded Julian Bickersteth Memorial Medal. From leading the analysis that identified Richard III to pioneering genetic genealogy her work is ground breaking. “Family history & genetic genealogy have always been central to my work.”
