With the holidays rapidly approaching now is the time to prepare for the (possibly spur-of-the-moment) opportunity to interview a loved one at a family gathering. NeWGS member, Lora Rose will conduct an interview of one of our members to demonstrate what types of questions you should be prepared to ask. Oftentimes these are once-in-a-lifetime moments. Many of regret not asking the important questions that could have led us in the right direction for future research.
