22 July 2024 – British Science Festival
We are thrilled to announce that the Genetics Society has been chosen to lead the Biological Sciences Scientific Section at this year’s British Science Festival! This is a fantastic opportunity, and we are honoured to contribute to such an amazing event – the British Science Festival is the longest-running festival of science and a key event in the UK science engagement calendar. This year’s festival takes place at the University of East London.
We have nominated Professor Aoife McLysaght (Trinity College, Dublin) to be this year’s Section President. Aoife has a long-standing commitment to the promotion of genetics to a broad audience, having been awarded the Genetics Society JBS Haldane Medal in 2016, and co-hosting the Royal Institution’s Christmas Lectures in 2018, amongst many other initiatives.
We are running two free events for the British Science Festival this year and would love to see you there!
