Genomics is the study of our genes and DNA. It is transforming medicine, from how diseases are diagnosed to how treatments are chosen. During COVID, we became familiar with genomics without realising it. Kate explores genomics in practice, and why ensuring its benefits are shared fairly matters to us all.

Friendly Food

You are invited, by hosts Dave and Kathryn, in the name of Grange Methodist Church: they will prepare a lunch for anyone who comes, from 12 noon in the church hall on the second Tuesday in the month (but this month it's the third Tuesday!) Just come along – no need to book, and no set charge (donations welcome). Perhaps this will be particularly welcomed by those who would otherwise be on their own, or anyone who would like a bit of company and a meal prepared for them.
