DNA Special Interest Group (July)
This special interest discussion group is aimed at those wanting to get the most out of their DNA results. It is facilitated by DNA expert, Debbie Kennett. Sessions are held quarterly, but there is no obligation to attend on a regular basis. First time attendees are always welcomed. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and to gain ideas for how you can use your results to solve questions. We encourage participants to share their success stories and we particularly welcome short presentations and case reports from group members. All levels of expertise with interpreting DNA results welcome but you should have some basic experience of working with your DNA matches to get the most out of the group.
Tickets are £5 (society members £4). Pre-booking is required however, as full joining instructions will be sent by email to all attendees in advance. Bookings close one day before the event.
To be able to join in this discussion group, you will need a computer device which has speakers and a microphone. Ideally, also a webcam. You need to be able to access your emails from this device. First-time users will be asked to download a small piece of software to enable you to use the online conferencing software. This will be sent to you in advance. Technical help is available for those who need further assistance, please contact booking@berksfhs.org.uk
