The Genetics Society

We recently published the results of our #survey on public trusts in #genetics. More then a 1/3 of the UK public reports an increase in trust in science through the pandemic. How can we keep up this momentum? More info here: genetics.org.uk/public-percept…

A big thank you to our #ClockClub sponsor @GenSocUK. Sponsors help us keep Clock Clubs free to attend and enable us to offer travel grants, keeping the community connected.

Lovely article by @edhollox in @GenSocUK about @uniofleicester Department of Genetics reaching the grand old age of 60! 🧬😊

In this study, Martin et al. describe the functional impact and pathogenic mechanisms of cancer-associated POT1 mutations, uncoupling POT1's roles in telomere regulation and DNA repair. #openaccess Learn more here: ➡️ tinyurl.com/gd352492

Thank you to all the amazing participants and tutors (@genotripe, @AlisonWoollard, @helen_keen & @FirstCreateMe) who joined our Communicating Your Science workshop last week. We can’t wait to see how you share your science with the world! #SciComm

The next online international #genetics #genomics seminar in Asia-Pacific region is on April 30 with Prof Qiaomei Fu speaking on Genomic Insights into Human Population Diversity, Migration & #Evolution in Ancient East Asia. Free registration via the link in the flyer below.

What does inclusive science communication look like? Sarah Cosgriff is telling us all about it! #CYS25

We start the second day of our Communicating Your Science workshop with the amazing @helen_keen, teaching us how to share our science with stand up comedy! #CYS25

NEW ISSUE ALERT!!! Check out the new Research Papers, Review and Outlook Articles online now at Genes & Development. Click on the link for more: ➡️ genesdev.cshlp.org/content/current

Time to put all that storytelling knowledge into practice. Sarah Hazell and Fergus Powell from @FirstCreateMe are leading the workshop on how to Walk Your Talk! #CYS25

Time to hear from @genotripe and find out the importance of narrative in science! #CYS25

We are back at Chicheley Hall for our fantastic annual Communicating Your Science workshop. We start with @AlisonWoollard introducing attendees to the history of storytelling in #science! #CYS25

Having a great time @MLSFutureForum today! Still time to visit us and chat to @AlisonWoollard and @genotripe about our Research Access Placement project in collaboration with the @BBSRC!

We're exited to be part of @MLSFutureForum! Join us and find out about our Research Access Placements (RAPs), our new partnership with @BBSRC . The RAPs are a new initiative supporting summer research internships for undergrad students from underrepresented backgrounds.
