DNA Day is a public festival of events celebrating and investigating genetics. Marked around the world, DNA Day is a chance for us all to think carefully about genetics now and in the future.

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, a number of our events have now moved online:

Jurassic Park Watchalong – 23 April, from 6:30pm
Watch Jurassic Park and enjoy the dinosaurs from safely behind your sofa – this ‘Watchalong’ will feature commentary from experts and a live online Q&A featuring Matthew Cobb (@matthewcobb), Will Tattersdill (@WillTattersdill), and Jerome De Groot (@deggy21)

Please begin the film at 6:30 sharp with us and follow the discussion on Twitter using the hashtag #DNADay2020. Licensing issues mean that we cannot stream the film directly. This means you need to source it yourselves but it is easily available from many streaming services.

#decolonizeDNA Twitter Conference – 24 April, from 9am (EST)
More than ever, it is important to understand the deeper societal and political implications of DNA. Who owns access to genetic information? This Twitter conference will investigate these issues and feature contributors from around the world.  For details and schedule see: https://decolonize-dna.org/schedule/
