Nessa Carey, whose book The Epigenetics Revolution Icon published in paperback earlier this month, will be speaking at the Edinburgh International Science Festival on Friday 6th April.

As the Festival website says, ‘Join biologist and author Nessa Carey as she reveals why epigenetics – the study of heritable changes that occur without a change in the DNA sequence, rather through variation in the way our cells read our DNA – is the fastest-moving field in modern biology, how it is rewriting our understanding of genetics, disease and inheritance, and what amazing possibilities it offers for the improvement of humankind.’

Tickets are £8 / £6 and available here.
