One of the very best books I read over the last 12-18 months or so was Greg Radick's brilliant "Disputed inheritance", here's a brief Amazon review saying why anyone truly interested in the origins of genetics, and its potential futures, should read it https://t.co/a0nN8KbtxI

Thank you @Ddysmo. What an excellent day, the @AdelphiGenetics meeting at @royalsociety. Some really thoughtful talks marking 20 years since publication of completion of the Human Genome Project. A super-sharp narrative from @stevesturdy from Edinburgh on the political agendas around UK genomics over the last decade. Also Andrew Read (of Strachan and Read!) on the technology journey, Bill Newman @GeneticBill on rolling out of pharmacogenomics and Mike Parker @michaelethox on the ethical journey of genomic expansion.

“Beyond the authorized version of the history of genetics another option emerges.” | Gregory Radick explains why the mistaken idea that genes determine character traits was allowed to persist. https://t.co/HwU5L2s1uI

What an incredible day at the @AdelphiGenetics annual conference at the @royal society! ‘Progress and challenges implementing genomics into practice and society’, great to look back at the 20 years since the human genome was published and look at the present and exciting future.
