School of Life Sciences, Gibbet Hill

18:00 - 20:00

Join us here at the School of Life Sciences for our first Public Science Evening of 2019! This evening will explore the exciting topic of ancient DNA, and how it started out as a fringe science to become the mainstream field it is today.

Throughout the evening you will learn about DNA sequencing, ancient DNA and how we can use this information reconstruct archaeological specimens and environments of the past! We are also pleased to announce that a special guest lecturer from the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C will be presenting one of the talks.

This event will cover a wide variety of uses of ancient DNA, from reconstructing the lost lands beneath the North Sea to crop origins and bat conservation.

Registration is now open, please register here.
