I spent an afternoon at @geneticscam.bsky.social, University of Cambridge, for the Anniversary Day of @gensocuk.bsky.social - there were some great talks ranging from quantitative traits in natural populations to an eye-opening discussion on the history and philosophy of genetics. Happy anniversary!

Our last speaker of the day is Richard Durbin talking about the Era of Sequencing Genomes, in honour of the anniversaries of Sanger sequencing and first draft of Human Genome!

Next talk is from Eldrian Tho. Eldrian won a summer studentship in 2023 and is currently doing a masters at Imperial College London. They’re sharing their research on Ubiquitin Ligases in Virus Sensing Pathways!

Alison Woollard, our Policy VP, introducing our 2025 JBS Haldane Lecture winner Gregory Radick! We’re now hearing how the New Genetics meets the New History of Genetics!

Very excited to hear from our Genetics Society Medal winner, Josephine Pemberton, about Understanding quantitative traits in natural populations!

Next up is Rosie Parkin! Rosie won one of our summer studentships in 2022 and is now doing her masters. Today she’s talking about Genomic Prediction in Hybrid Zones.
