Heres something to discuss at the next family gathering! Full siblings share on average 50% of their DNA — but it's never exactly 50/50 (except for identical twins). Random shuffling during conception means siblings can be more or less genetically similar to each other than you'd expect.

On this day in 1485...

Richard III became the last English king to die in battle when he was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

His death marked the end of the main phase of the Wars of the Roses, paving the way for the Tudor dynasty as Henry VII took the throne and united the rival Houses of Lancaster and York.

More than 500 years later, Richard III captured the world's attention once again when his remains were famously rediscovered beneath a car park in Leicester in 2012—a remarkable moment where archaeology, history, and DNA came together to solve one of England's greatest historical mysteries.

Do you have a natural ear for music? Or perhaps you've always been the person others look to for leadership.

While practice, learning, and life experiences all play an important role in shaping who we are, our DNA can also influence many of our natural traits and tendencies.

Explore how your genetics may contribute to characteristics such as musical aptitude, leadership, insightfulness, stress response, and more. It's a fascinating way to discover another layer of what makes you uniquely you.

Summer Science Series – Part 4: Family Symbols & Coats of Arms

Did you know that families around the world have used special symbols for hundreds—even thousands—of years?

In many cultures, important families were represented by unique emblems, such as European coats of arms, Japanese kamon, or the tamga symbols used by Eurasian nomads. These designs often told a story about a family's history, values, achievements, or the places they called home.

One famous example is the Scottish Royal Coat of Arms. At its centre is the bold Lion Rampant—a red lion standing proudly on a golden shield, symbolising courage and strength. Around it is a decorative border filled with tiny fleurs-de-lis, representing Scotland's historic friendship with France. The Lion Rampant has been a symbol of Scottish royalty for over 800 years, dating back to the reign of William the Lion in the 12th century.

Now it's your turn! If your family had its own coat of arms, what would it look like? Would you choose an animal, your favourite colours, or symbols that represent your family? We'd love to see your creations—share them with us in the comments!
