Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books.
It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧
Awesome time at Hay Festival - will always remember my events with @profdevisridhar.bsky.social @turiking.bsky.social and @adamrutherford.bsky.social on genes, global health and more!

That was a lovely way to spend a morning: nattering to the rather wonderful Dermot O’Leary @ BBC about my new book on genetics. Dermot is one of those people with that rare talent of making it feel like you’re chatting to an old friend. 😊
Book out May 28th, you can pre-order it now from bookstores.
I'm being awarded the @ihgs.bsky.social Julian Bickersteth Medal - awarded 'to persons who have made notable and exemplary contributions to family history studies'. I've been working in genetic genealogy for over 25 years so this is a lovely honour. 😊
This is a big deal for a scientist. @mjflepage.bsky.social of @newscientist.com has given a lovely review of my new book.
My lovely friend, Jonathan Milner, has a powerful regenerative farming project: Sapperton Wilder. It's a science-based case study for nature-friendly farming. Excited to see their new video - such a wonderful project! Help us get the word out!

Lovely review of my book in @thetimes.com by their fab science correspondent, Tom Whipple. Great photos by Jooney Woodward. It's all becoming rather real that the book is out next week in the U.K. (Squeak!)

So very sad to hear that David Baker has passed away. It's hard to overstate the impact he made in his life. Not only did he help change the face of policing but he was a dear and lovely man. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

David Baker led the hunt for rapist and murderer Colin Pitchfork.
“What has always hooked me about DNA has been the stories," says @turiking.bsky.social in The Secrets of Our DNA 🧪
And that's the appeal of her book, which is full of them. My review:

Congratulations to Professor Turi King on being awarded the Julian Bickersteth Memorial Medal. From leading the DNA analysis that identified Richard III to pioneering genetic genealogy her work is truly ground breaking.
“Family history and genetic genealogy have always been central to my work.”
From clearing people convicted of murder to identifying a monarch's remains, Michael Le Page is fascinated by The Secrets of Our DNA, an insider's must-read book
