Card game 'Geneticist Trumps', 2 packs. In 2019 The Genetics Society produced a Top Trumps-style card game that was sent to every UK secondary school. 'Designed for education, ‘Geneticist Trumps’ provides a fun way to learn about influential scientists and their work in a competitive game format. The project was funded by a Tier 2 Public Engagement Grant and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research innovation programme. As a soft launch to coincide with the Society’s 100th anniversary, packs of cards were given away to those who attended the ‘Century of Genetics‘ conference in 2019. The game consists of 30 playing cards featuring history’s greatest geneticists and explains how they changed our understanding of genes and heredity. Each card also shows five categories and corresponding scores.' (https://genetics.org.uk/trump-cards/)

Copy of a letter from Bateson to L. Hogben. It discusses the position of the Genetical Society in relation to the creation of a new society 'with functions largely identical [to those of the Genetical Society]'. This new society was to become known as the Society for Experimental Biology and Bateson also refers to the offer to him to join its Council. This he did, as a co-opted member, in March 1924.
