DNA Seminar

DNA Seminar

09:30am for 10:00am on Saturday 13th August 2016

We return to Cheltenham for a long overdue DNA seminar, starting with a headline talk on Richard III by Dr Turi King of the University of Leicester.  We will then offer two parallel streams with sessions aimed at different levels of experience: Starting Out/Basics (B) and Intermediate/Advanced (A), and concluding with an Advanced/Expert (E) session.  All sessions will be led by leading DNA experts from within and without the Guild.  The day will conclude with a Wrap Up Session/Q+A panel with many of the day’s speakers and other experts.
