An application form for delegates and observers at the NCFWI Annual Meeting is with your Secretary this month. The guest speaker is Turi King, a scientist, presenter, speaker and author who is passionate about communicating science to the public. She has worked in the field of genetic genealogy since 2000, using genetics in the fields of forensics, history, and archaeology. She is perhaps best known her work “cracking one of the biggest forensic DNA cases in history” (Globe and Mail, February 2013), leading the genetic analysis for the identification of King Richard III. Named as one of the world’s ‘rockstar genealogists’, her work since has covered not only family history but the use of genetic genealogy in forensics and historical cases.
There will be a shopping hour, 6pm – 7pm, prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting. If a few of you are thinking of coming along why not consider hiring a community bus or share one with your neighbouring WI (s).
