Nature, nurture or neither? The view from the genes
Monday 29 November 2010, 19.30
Central Hall, Natural History Museum
This year’s Annual Science Lecture will be presented by Professor Steve Jones, Professor of Genetics at University College London.
Modern advances in DNA technology have revolutionised our understanding of the structure of the human genome, with dramatic results. This has led to new methods of diagnosing and treating different cancers, as well as other important medical outcomes. But the scientists who study our genes are constantly reminded that this knowledge highlights the gap between our understanding of the DNA double helix and that of the human body.
Find out from Professor Steve Jones how our lives and health can be divided into two segments: nature (our genes) and nurture (the environment), and the difficulties of separating the two. Professor Jones will explain how we often ask the wrong questions when we consider our genes and the environment.
