The GRACE team had a fantastic time at the MK Ghanaian Community meet-and-greet at Christ the Vine Church encouraging greater participation in genetics research. Thank you to the Mayor of MK for championing diversity and meeting the King from Ghana made the day even more special!

A fantastic meeting organised by the Gadangme Association, where the GRACE team discussed The Generation Study and broader UK genetics research, with a focus on the importance of increasing participation and representation among minority ethnic groups.

The GRACE project immsensely enjoyed Easter Monday at Queensway Methodist Church raising awareness about The Generation Study in Milton Keynes. In addition to this, the team enjoyed great food and some fun dancing! 😁

It was a real pleasure to collaborate with the Open University on the GRACE Project. Their mission is to increase diversity in genetics research so that it is more reflective of our society – more ethical, inclusive and community-driven.

An interesting riddle for those curious to know about consanguinity in 15th century. 🙃 The GRACE project is also involved in creating awareness about genetics and genetic conditions in families with consanguineous marriages in the UK.

Consanguity riddle from the 15th century: A count had twelve knights, all of whom had the same mother – four were his sons, four his brothers-in-law and four his sons-in-law. How could this be possible? Use these handy figures to work it out.
