GM FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Monday 27 April, 7pm
The Gartholwg Centre, St Illtyd's Road, Church Village, Pontypridd CF38 1RQ
In today's current economic and environmental climate, could GM food be the answer to food
shortages and rising food costs? Join our public discussion at which experts will discuss whether GM
food is needed to feed the world and if there are any risks with GM foods for us and the
environment.
Speakers:
Denis Murphy, University of Glamorgan
Haf Elgar, Friends of the Earth Cymru
Michael Antoniou, King's College London
Organised by the Wales Gene Park, Techniquest and the Gartholwg Lifelong Learning Centre.
THE REAL GENE-ERATION GAME!
What can our genes tell us about our roots?
Thursday 30 April, 6pm
Cardiff University, The Council Chamber in the Main Building, Park Place, Cardiff CF10 3AT
(Cathays Park campus)
Could you be a descendent of the Celts? If you are interested in your family roots, come to our
talk where experts will discuss what genes can tell about where today's descendent of settlers
(Anglo Saxons, Vikings, Romans, Normans) can be found and whether men with the same surname descend
from the same person.
Speakers:
Bruce Winney, 'People of the British Isles', University of Oxford
Turi King, 'What's In a Name?', University of Leicester
Organised by the Wales Gene Park and Techniquest.
Best wishes,
