About this event
This talk will explore the first case (1985) solved using new DNA techniques. You will learn how the process works and more on some famous cases using DNA, including ‘The King in the Car Park’, the discovery of the body of Richard III The last Russian Royal family. The talk will finish with a look at DNA use in family history. We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
