SUMMARY:The Man who Caught a Million Criminals - Alec Jeffreys and the invention of DNA fingerprinting: A talk by Dr Ian Goodall
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr Ian Goodall\, for his fascinating talk about Alec Jeffreys and his great British invention of DNA fingerprinting. Alec invented the technique in the 1980s at Leicester University\, which went on to revolutionise the way crimes were solved worldwide. \nThe talk describes the first case solved using DNA FINGERPRINTING\, a double murder in a village near Leicester. It explains how the technique works and then describes how it has been used. Famous cases include THE KING IN THE CAR PARK\, how the bones were proved to be King Richard III. It also explains how the remains of the last Russian Royal family were verified – using a DNA sample from Prince Philip. It finishes by explaining its use in family history\, using examples from my own family tree. The talk is richly illustrated with colourful\, easy-to-read\, slides. \nDr Ian Goodall is a professional speaker who has raised thousands of pounds for local charities. He is the retired headteacher of a very large comprehensive school and has a passion for public speaking. Feedback has included\, ‘ The best speaker we’ve ever had’\, and ‘Dr Goodall is an amazing speaker’. This will be his 130th talk. \nAll the funds raised from this event will be used to support the charity work of the Community Wellbeing Garden in Petworth. www.communitywellbeinggarden.org
