Finally got to start a Darkest Dungeon campaign with my friends. Been trying to do so for like 4 months.
Great fun!

People are shocked that (as a person with a genetics degree) I am insanely sceptical about all DNA harvesting organisations, whether clearly profit driven and science-lite ("find your ancestry") or those claiming to be science-driven and NHS-affiliated. But I keep getting my opinion validated :/
For 17 years, UK Biobank promised that "insurance companies...will not be given any individual’s information, samples or test results”.

Now an investigation reveals they have repeatedly shared data with insurance companies.

A shocking breech of trust.
