*****************************************************************************

Techniquest did a very interesting exhibition "Genetic Diversity in Cardiff
Bay" for our partners the Wales Gene Park, that was aimed at exactly that
target group.

The exhibition had some basic interactives on genetics and then some
specific ones of the population of Cardiff Bay drawn from census, parish
records and sailor's work records.

It was an unusual opportunity to focus on one of the most diverse but stable
populations in the UK. It was very well received and is still used in
community centres locally.

Christian Thomas <[log in to unmask]> could tell you more,
