I'm doing some live events this autumn chatting about Richard III and other mysteries that DNA has helped solve. And you will also be able to buy my book. 😊🧬 Details here: turiking.co.uk/speaking-and...

Fab time with the rather wonderful Robin Ince, Chris Jackson, @helenczerski.bsky.social & @particleclara.bsky.social chatting about the last 20 years of scientific discoveries @cosmicshambles.com @latitudefestival.bsky.social 😊🧬 As you can see, this is the rather glamorous back stage area!

I have been continuing my streak of guerrilla book signings (randomly going into bookstores unannounced and signing my books) and amazing self portraits! Here’s me/books in @hatchards.bsky.social in St Pancras and @waterstones.bsky.social Canterbury!

I got to be on the lovely @herring1967.bsky.social book club and, in between him having me in stitches, we were chatting about my book, Secrets of our DNA. 😊🧬 You can listen here: shows.acast.com/aacb15fc-f2a9-… or wherever you get your podcasts.

Ooooo! Lovely to pop into Waterstones Gower Street to sign some copies of my book!! 😊🧬 I hope you all love my amazing self portrait! 😀

Exciting to see my book out in the wild in my local @toppingsbath.bsky.social! 😊🧬

Timbits back at you. 😍

The student will be supported by supervisors @lucyvandorp.bsky.social @turiking.bsky.social sky.social in a friendly, inclusive group based in London. The studentship covers fees, stipend, consumables, travel, and outreach. Unfortunately we can only consider those eligible for UK home fee status.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦🍁

I'm being awarded the @ihgs.bsky.social Julian Bickersteth Medal - awarded 'to persons who have made notable and exemplary contributions to family history studies'. I've been working in genetic genealogy for over 25 years so this is a lovely honour. 😊

I’m on tour later in the year but nothing in Bath yet. 😊

This is a big deal for a scientist. @mjflepage.bsky.social of @newscientist.com has given a lovely review of my new book.

Awwwwww! Thanks! That means a lot coming from you!

Awesome time at Hay Festival - will always remember my events with @profdevisridhar.bsky.social @turiking.bsky.social and @adamrutherford.bsky.social on genes, global health and more!

Lovely review of my book in @thetimes.com by their fab science correspondent, Tom Whipple. Great photos by Jooney Woodward. It's all becoming rather real that the book is out next week in the U.K. (Squeak!) UK May 28th amzn.eu/d/0j4DfV9z Canada June 2nd a.co/d/02GHPTiI

Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books. It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

That was a lovely way to spend a morning: nattering to the rather wonderful Dermot O’Leary @ BBC about my new book on genetics. Dermot is one of those people with that rare talent of making it feel like you’re chatting to an old friend. 😊 Book out May 28th, you can pre-order it now from bookstores.

Guys, I’m not doing this!!! Julia is lovely but I’m not chatting to her about her book! 😉

My lovely friend, Jonathan Milner, has a powerful regenerative farming project: Sapperton Wilder. It's a science-based case study for nature-friendly farming. Excited to see their new video - such a wonderful project! Help us get the word out! youtu.be/uPmyu5Du8T8/... @chrisgpackham.bsky.social
