Episode Four

Welcome to the Double Helix History Podcast, presented by Prof Jerome de Groot & Dr Matthew Stallard.

In our fourth episode we will be exploring the varied and dynamic ways in which family historians have built their comprehensive range of skills and experience through both community-organisation and personal interest and drive.

We turn then towards the advent and impact of DNA on our ideas of the past and the challenges this whole new set of scientific terms and knowledge have been tackled by genealogists.

We have an interview with Professor Turi King of the University of Leicester who discusses her work on high profile public genetic genealogy projects, most famously as the biologist who DNA-tested Richard III's remains.

Finally we report from our 2019 Double Helix History public event at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, seeing how the wider public knowledge of genetic genealogy is being disseminated by hearing from a range of researchers and museum visitors of all ages.
