Vocabulaire thmatique
franais/anglais
Introduction
Les preuves d'anglais des concours d'entre aux grandes coles sont relativement
varies en termes de format et de contenu si l'on considre l'ensemble des sections
scientiques. Il convient donc chaque tudiant en classe prparatoire de bien
cibler les exigences de chaque examen an d'apprendre le vocabulaire le plus prcis
et spcique possible.
Les sciences sont l'honneur dans la grande majorit des textes soumis l'crit et
l'oral. Il n'y a pas une question de socit qui ne fasse intervenir des connaissances
en sciences de l'environnement, en informatique, en gntique ou en mdecine
tant donn le contexte mondial actuel. Une argumentation de qualit est attendue dans les essais des Concours Communs Polytechniques, de l'ENS ou encore
de Polytechnique.
C'est la raison pour laquelle nous avons compil un lexique thmatique franais/
anglais qui permet tout tudiant en MP, PC, PSI ou BCPST d'avoir un bagage
susant pour exprimer ses ides aussi bien l'crit qu' l'oral. Le lexique alphabtique anglais/franais sert quant lui de rfrence linguistique pour l'entranement la lecture d'articles scientiques et bien entendu la version, notamment
la version scientique aux ENS.
Cet ouvrage se veut galement un outil mthodologique qui doit permettre
l'tudiant dsirant d'amliorer ses comptences stylistiques, non seulement de
structurer sa pense, mais aussi d'illustrer, d'introduire, de rsumer, dargumenter
et nalement de conclure ses essais. Des conseils mthodologiques, un lexique
permettant d'organiser ses ides dans des phrases et des paragraphes, mais aussi
des biographies de scientiques remarquables et des ches donnant un bref historique sur des thmes ayant trait la science compltent ce manuel.
Nous esprons vivement que cet ouvrage sera une aide prcieuse et ecace, non
seulement pour les concours, mais aussi tout au long de vos tudes scientiques.
Good luck !
Nous remercions toutes les personnes qui nous ont apport leur aide lors de la
conception de cet ouvrage.

Mthodologie de lpreuve crite

Voici quelques conseils mthodologiques. Nous rappelons que lexpression
crite comme lexpression orale doivent tre structures an de mettre en
valeur les ides du texte et celles que vous aurez dveloppes partir de vos
connaissances personnelles.
Introduction
vitez lternel The text deals with en dbut dessai. Il est prfrable
dentrer directement dans le sujet de larticle avant de donner le plan de
manire subtile :
(Main topic) has been a key issue for some years, however in this case, the
journalist gives us to understand that It would therefore be interesting to
analyse before talking about (and nally).
Dveloppement
Deux ou trois paragraphes sont ncessaires pour rpondre la question pose, selon le nombre de mots demands. Utilisez les mots de
liaison pour souligner le cheminement logique de votre rexion.
Chaque mot de liaison ne devrait tre utilis quune seule fois pour
montrer la richesse de votre vocabulaire. De mme, utilisez des
structures varies, vitant absolument There is ou It is ,
moins demployer des expressions idiomatiques.
Conclusion
Fiches mthodes
La conclusion est vidente lcrit car elle est courte et se place la n

de lessai. Nul besoin donc de lintroduire par une expression vidente. Il
ne sagit pas de rsumer les ides dj prsentes mais de sen servir pour
ouvrir le dbat ou pour lancer une nouvelle piste de rexion.
Dans tous les cas, la conclusion idale est celle qui inclut richesse du
vocabulaire et de la grammaire (modaux, pas de rptition de mots dj
employs) et ides nouvelles.
Ultimately then (main topic) will always be in peoples minds and we may
never be able to change things despite the many alternatives oered us. We
could however wonder if (related topic) would improve our understanding of
the issue.

Voici quelques conseils mthodologiques. Nous rappelons que lexpression
crite comme lexpression orale doivent tre structures an de mettre en
valeur les ides du texte et celles que vous aurez dveloppes partir de vos
connaissances personnelles.
Nous rappelons que la richesse de la langue (vocabulaire, expressions idiomatiques, temps, aspects, modaux) compte pour la moiti de la note,
lautre moiti correspondant la bonne comprhension des ides du texte
(dans le rsum) et lanalyse dides personnelles et culturelles (dans le
commentaire).
Introduction
Mme remarque que pour lcrit, mais le plan change car le format de
lpreuve est de rsumer puis de commenter le texte. Lidal est de dvelopper trois grandes ides an de parler pendant les 15 minutes requises.
Il est galement possible de souligner un dcalage entre ce que le titre de
larticle semble annoncer et le contenu du texte, le commentaire pouvant
alors servir approfondir les sous-entendus.
(The main topic) has been a topical issue for some years. The journalist would
even have us believe that Indeed the article focuses on more specically.
We will rst see the main ideas of the text, which will then lead us to comment
on some that I nd particularly interesting, namely, or
Rsum (5 mn)
Organisez les ides pour les enchaner logiquement et viter les rptitions.
Soulignez les liens logiques du texte avec les mots de liaison. Variez les
structures de phrases, les temps, les aspects et les modaux. Utilisez toute la
palette de vos connaissances.
Attention : pas de citations ni de paraphrase du texte. Prsentez les ides
avec vos propres mots de manire logique et non de manire linaire. Il est
donc dconseill dintroduire les ides avec : Firstly Secondly Thirdly
Prfrez : First of all Moreover Last but not least
196
Transition
Prsentez plus prcisment les grandes ides qui vont tre dveloppes dans
le commentaire en essayant de les relier la dernire ide nonce dans le
rsum.
The latter idea naturally leads us to consider three points, , and
Commentaire (10 mn)

Trois grandes parties sont ncessaires pour parler environ 10 minutes. Elles
doivent tre prsentes dans un ordre logique en commenant par celle qui
a un lien direct avec le texte (citation de lauteur, thme, personnalit ou
pays trait dans le texte, ajout de connaissances personnelles sur le sujet),
la deuxime peut largir un peu le sujet (volution du problme depuis la
date de publication, par exemple) et la troisime sloigner encore un peu
plus (parallle avec un autre pays).
Dans tous les cas, mettre le sujet en contexte en rappelant les donnes
politiques, conomiques, culturelles ou historiques du pays concern permet de montrer ses connaissances des pays et des institutions anglophones.
Des illustrations de cas spciques extrieurs au texte, des prcisions et des
notions culturelles sont galement attendues et trs apprcies.
Il est bien entendu possible de faire un parallle avec le sujet tel quil
est trait dans son propre pays, condition que cette partie ne soit pas
en premire position. De mme, le candidat doit prsenter son opinion
personnelle la n du commentaire tout en ltayant dune justication
dtaille.
Il est aussi important de souligner le ton de larticle, lironie, lhumour ou
le parti pris du journaliste. Le titre est souvent porteur de sens mais aussi
lobjet dun jeu de mots (a play on words, a pun). Soulignez-le, expliquezle puis reliez-le dautres lments du texte qui vont dans le mme sens.
Conclusion
Fiches mthodes
Lidal est de commencer par une expression vidente annonant la

conclusion pour que celle-ci ne soit pas confondue avec le commentaire.
Les conseils donns pour lessai sur la richesse du vocabulaire et louverture
du sujet sont bien videmment applicables.
All things considered we cannot but conclude that Still it would be interesting
to explore Then who knows what we would come up with.
Thank you.

Inuential scientists
Stephen William Hawking
A British theoretical physicist, he was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford,
England. When he was eight, his family moved to St. Albans. In 1959 he
started studying at University College, Oxford, from which he graduated
with rst class honours in physics in 1962. He then moved to Cambridge
to take up research in general relativity and cosmology. After completing
his doctorate in 1966, Hawking was awarded a fellowship at Gonville
and Caius College, Cambridge. He became Professor of Gravitational
Physics in 1977. Two years later, he was appointed Lucasian Professor of
Mathematics. He retired on October 1, 2009, yet he will go on working at
the University of Cambridge as Director of Research at DAMTP. Hawking
has a neuro muscular dystrophy and is almost completely paralysed.
Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. His
work has inuenced the development of the Big Bang and black hole theories.
Sir Isaac Newton

An English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and natural
philosopher, he was born on 4 January 1643 and died on 31 March
1727. From 1661 to 1665, he studied mathematics, optics, physics and
astronomy at Cambridge University. In 1667, he became a Fellow of
Trinity College before being appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics
at Caius College. Five years later, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society,
which he would preside as of 1703. He was appointed MP for Cambridge
University in 1689, warden of the Royal Mint in 1696, and was knighted
in 1705. He is buried in Westminster Abbey. Newton is considered one of
the greatest scientists and mathematicians of all time.
He invented calculus, formulated the laws of gravitation, made important discoveries in the eld of optics and investigated the eld of motion.
Newton also improved the design of the refracting telescope by using
an objective mirror instead of a lens, which is now called a Newtonian
telescope.
214
Albert Einstein
A theoretical physicist, he was born at Ulm, in Wrttemberg, Germany, on
March 14th, 1879 and died on April 18th, 1955 in Princeton, USA. Right
after his birth, the family moved to Munich, then to Pavia, Italy, and Aarau,
Switzerland. He entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich in
1896 to become a mathematics and physics teacher. In 1900 he received
his teaching diploma and started work on his doctoral thesis. A year later
he acquired Swiss citizenship and accepted a position as a teacher. In 1905
he published the Special Theory of Relativity and the following year he
obtained his PhD from the University of Zurich.
In 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911 Professor
of Theoretical Physics in Prague, and in 1912 he got the same position in
Zurich. In 1914 he was appointed Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical
Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. That year he became a
German citizen and remained in Berlin until 1933, when he was led to
renounce his citizenship for political reasons his family was Jewish.
After emigrating to America, he was appointed Professor of Theoretical
Physics at Princeton. He retired in 1945, only ve years after he became a
U.S. citizen.
Einstein is regarded as the greatest scientist of the 20th century. Apart from
the theory of relativity, he also contributed to the development of quantum
mechanics, statistical mechanics and cosmology. In 1921 he was awarded
the Nobel Prize for Physics.
Robert Sanderson Mulliken
Fiches mthodes
An American physicist and chemist, he was born on June 7th, 1896 in

Newburyport, Massachusetts, and died on October 31st, 1986. He
graduated in 1913 and succeeded in getting a scholarship to study at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He majored in chemistry
in 1917. During World War I and for a few years afterward, he worked
in government chemical research. He got his doctorate at the University
of Chicago in 1921 and began to work on his theory of molecular structure in the 1920s. He taught at New York University in 1926 and then
joined the faculty of the University of Chicago two years later. There, he
worked on the Plutonium Project, which was part of the development
of the atomic bomb during the Second World War. In 1955 he served as
scientic advisor at the U.S. Embassy in London.
215
In 1952, he developed quantum-mechanical questions underlying

molecular-orbital theory and the use of interatomic overlap integrals as
measures of bond energies. He received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in
1966.
John Forbes Nash, Jr

An American mathematician, he was born on June 13th, 1928 in Blueeld,
West Virginia. In 1948, he received both his bachelors and masters degrees
in mathematics from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh.
In 1950 he got his doctorate at Princeton University. The following year
he joined the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but he
had to resign in the late 1950s after bouts of schizophrenia. A lm version
of Nashs life, "A Beautiful Mind" released in 2001, won four Academy
Awards. It portrays Nashs long struggle with the disease.
Nash established the mathematical principles of game theory and in 1994,
he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics.
Linus Carl Pauling

An American chemist, peace activist, author, and educator, he was born in
Portland, Oregon, on 28 February 1901 and died on 19 August 1994. He
went to the public elementary and high schools in Condon Portland and
in 1917 entered the Oregon State College, from which he got his B.Sc.
degree in chemical engineering in 1922. During the years 1919-1920 he
served as a full-time teacher of quantitative analysis in the State College,
then he was appointed a Teaching Fellow in Chemistry in the California
Institute of Technology, where he taught and carried out his research for
the next 33 years. He got his Ph.D. in chemistry with minors in physics
and mathematics in 1925. In 1954, Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize
in Chemistry and in 1962 the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaign against
above ground nuclear testing.
Pauling rst made his mark in the world of chemistry with his use of
X-rays to examine the molecular structure of crystals. This work led him to
a more thorough investigation of the nature of the chemical bond.
James Dewey Watson

An American molecular biologist, he was born on April 6th, 1928, in Chicago,
Illinois. He enrolled at the University of Chicago at only 15 and graduated in
216
1947. He then received a PhD at Indiana University in 1950 and went to work
at Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, in England, where he met Francis
Crick. In 1956, Watson became a junior member of Harvard University's
Biological Laboratories, which he would leave in 1976. In 1962 Watson,
Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or
Medicine. From 1968 he served as director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
(CSHL) on Long Island, New York. Between 1988 and 1992, Watson was
associated with the National Institutes of Health, helping to establish the
Human Genome Project. In 1994, he became the president of CSHL for ten
years, and then served as its chancellor until 2007, when he resigned.
He is known as one of the two co-discoverers with Francis Crick of
the structure of DNA in 1953.
Francis Harry Compton Crick

A British molecular biologist, physicist, and neuroscientist, he was born
on June 8th, 1916 near Northampton and died in California on July 28th,
2004. Crick was educated at Northampton Grammar School and Mill Hill
School, London. He got a B.Sc. degree in physics at University College of
London in 1937. The outbreak of the war in 1939 interrupted his studies.
During the war he worked as a scientist for the British Admiralty, which
he left in 1947 to study biology. He went to Cambridge and in 1954,
obtained a PhD from Caius College.
His friendship with J.D. Watson inuenced his career and in 1953 they came
up with the double-helical structure for DNA. Among many other honours,
they were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

A brief history of the National

Health Service in the U.K.
The National Health Service (NHS) oers health services to all permanent
residents of the United Kingdom and is funded through general taxation.
Each of the four countries that constitute the U.K. has a specic NHS, yet
they cooperate with each other.
At rst the majority of doctors did not believe in the NHS as they feared
they would lose patients and money as well as their professional freedom,
but almost all eventually joined it. Its popularity was such that the
governments annual budget was never sucient to pay for all medical
treatments, notably glasses and dental surgery.
Some key dates :
1948 : NHS created under Clement Atlees Labour government. Thereafter
free medical treatment is oered to everyone.
1951 : Charge introduced for some dental surgery and prescriptions for
medicine, except for the young, the elderly, low income or disabled
patients.
2009 : NHS Constitution adopted by the Department of Health. It states
its organization, duties and objectives : "A range of organizations
provide NHS services direct to patients, including hospital trusts,
mental health trusts, ambulance trusts, GP practices, dental
practices, community pharmacies, optical practices, and NHS
Direct." Emergency services are provided by public hospitals only.
Today the NHS oers services free of charge. In 2009 the NHS in England
spent around 100 billion a year nearly 2,000 per person on average.
On the other hand, hospitals employ salaried employees under nationally
agreed contracts. General practitioners, who work in independent practices,
oer primary care and are paid a nationally determined fee.
Private health services are run in parallel to the services regulated by the
NHS. They are mainly paid by private insurance. Patients may also go
abroad to get special treatments that will be paid by the NHS.

A brief history of the health care

system in the USA
Fiches mthodes
The American health care system is undergoing a major reform under

the Obama Administration in 2009-2010. To understand why it is being
so much criticized, we will rst consider the system as it is today, before
presenting the proposed reform, which still has to be voted by Congress.
The Americans do not benet from a universal health care system although
the state does fund some specic health care organisms that cover part
of the population : the elderly, the poor, veterans and the military. Yet
President Obama declared in September 2009 : "In just a two-year period,
one in every three Americans goes without health care coverage at some
point. And every day, 14,000 Americans lose their coverage."
A little more than half the population receives health insurance through
their employers, yet this number is on the decline whereas the medical
costs have increased sharply. Others cannot count on their jobs or are selfemployed and in that case, it is very dicult for them to aord individual
coverage because it is almost three times as much as the coverage from an
employer, hence the importance in the choice of a job. Moreover insurance
companies refuse to cover many citizens because of previous illnesses or
specic risks.
Some key dates :
1787 : The U.S. Constitution states that "The Congress shall have Power to
lay and collect Taxes, [] and provide for the [] general Welfare
of the United States" (Article 1 Section 8).
1935 : Social Security Act (part of Roosevelts New Deal) oers old-age
assistance, aid to dependent children and to mothers to be.
1953 : Creation of the Department of Health Education and Welfare
(HEW), replaced by The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in 1980.
1965 : Medicare created for the elderly (65 and older), regardless of income
or retirement. Prescription drugs are not reimbursed. Medicaid
started and funded by state and federal governments for low-income people, regardless of age, employment or citizenship.
1977 : Creation of the Health Care Financing Administration to manage
Medicare and Medicaid separately from the Social Security Administration.
219
1988 : The McKinney Act provides health care to the homeless.

1997 : State Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) enables states to
extend health coverage to children of low-income families.
2001 : Center for Medicare & Medicaid created, replacing the Health
Care Financing Administration.
2003 : Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement, and Modernization Act
expands the coverage, including a prescription drug benet.
2009 : Obama reform launched in September.
The objectives of President Obamas 2009 reform originally were as follows :
bringing down costs, expanding coverage, and improving the quality of the
health care system. "More security and more stability" are the key words.
Basic health insurance will be compulsory for all individuals. In brief :
Nothing was to change for those who already benet from Medicare or
Medicaid. However with this plan, insurance companies would not be
able to deny or reduce coverage to anyone. Those companies would also
have to cover "routine check-ups and preventive care." The government
would set a limit to the medical costs paid by the citizens.
For the Americans who are uninsured, the government would create
"a new insurance exchange, a marketplace where individuals and small
businesses would be able to shop for health insurance at competitive
prices. [] This is how large companies and government employees get
aordable insurance." Competition would make the prices go down,
especially because the government would create a "not-for-prot public
option."
Those who would still not be able to aord health insurance would
get government help through tax credits in order to benet from the
exchange, which would only come into eect in four years. In the
meantime the government would "immediately oer low-cost coverage
that would protect [them] against nancial ruin if [they] became
seriously ill."
Illegal immigrants will not benet from any of those measures.
Although the Senate voted the reform, the Republicans mostly rejected

A brief history of ecology

in Britain
In 1998 British Prime Minister Tony Blair ratied the Kyoto Protocol,
which was initially adopted in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997. The Protocol was
enforced starting in 2005.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is a new
government department which brings together the work of the
Climate Change Group, previously housed within the Department for
Environment, Food and Rural Aairs (Defra), with the Energy Group
from the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform
(BERR).

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Aairs (Defra) is the
government department responsible for government policy and advice on
environmental, agricultural and rural issues.

Natural England is a non-departmental public body responsible for
ensuring that England's natural environment, including its land, ora
and fauna, freshwater and marine environments, geology and soils, are
protected and improved. It also has a responsibility to help people enjoy,
understand and access the natural environment. It brings together English
Nature, the Countryside Agency and the Rural Development Service.

A brief history of ecology

in the USA
In 1998, Vice-President Al Gore symbolically signed the Kyoto Protocol,
but it was never ratied. However over the years, some measures have
been taken to preserve the environment, notably in certain states such as
California. The new president has however announced his desire to have
the nation participate in world environmental eorts.
In October 2009, Barack Obama indeed initiated the GreenGov Challenge as part of the Department of the Interior, which is the principal
conservation agency in the US. In doing so, the president intends to make
the federal government an example of sustainability by building a clean
energy program that will help the U.S. meet the 2020 greenhouse gas
emissions reduction target.
In 2009, a new Energy Frontier was launched by the Department of
the Interior to prot from the renewable-energy potential of Americas
public lands, which oer solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, bioenergy, and
hydropower, whereas wind energy, ocean-wave energy and ocean-current
energy will be produced o-shore.
In December 2009, President Obama went to Copenhagen Summit on
Climate Change to show his desire to participate in the world eort to
preserve the earth. However the outcome was not as constructive as the
Kyoto Protocol, the only positive point being the participation of the
USA, China and India, which are among the most polluting countries in
the world.

A brief history of space in Britain

The British National Space Centre (BNSC) was created in 1985 as part of
the Ministry of Science and Innovation at the Department for Business,
Innovation and Skills (BIS). Its aims are to coordinate the UK civil space
activity, to support academic research, to nurture the UK space industry,
and to increase the understanding of space and its practical benets.
Today space programmes contribute about 5.8 billion to the UK
economy, employing more than 18,000 skilled workers. They are shaped
by the "UK Civil Space Strategy 2008-2012 and Beyond" whose objectives are to increase and promote the role of Britain in the global market in
space and in the technological innovations that follow.
The Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire is a
joint venture between one of BNSCs key partners, STFC (Science &
Technology Facilities Council), the Atomic Energy Authority and international property developer Goodman. Since July 2009, it has housed
scientists of the European Space Agency (ESA), which makes the campus
a new hub of the UKs space programme.

A brief history of space

in the USA
Fiches mthodes
In 1958 President Eisenhower created the National Aeronautics and Space

Administration (NASA), whose mission is to pioneer the future in space
exploration, scientic discovery and aeronautics research. In the early
1960s, President Kennedy then launched the New Frontier : space, hence
the mission to the Moon, which was completed on July 20, 1969, when
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the Moon.
Meanwhile NASA has developed research in space technology and its
applications on the Earth, notably weather and communications satellites.
Its space shuttle, which has had 120 successful ights, was rst launched
in 1981. Since 2000, NASA has contributed to the creation of the International Space Station (ISS) along with 15 other countries.
Furthermore it has developed exploration rovers such as Spirit and
Opportunity, which have been studying Mars since 2004, while Cassini
has been in orbit around Saturn and the Hubble Space Telescope has been
exploring the cosmos. The data sent by its satellites helps understand the
evolution of the Earth, especially in terms of climate and oceans.
At the same time, its aeronautics team has played an important part in
improving aircraft travel, making it safer and more environmentallyfriendly. In the years to come, NASAs objective is to send humans not
only beyond Earth's orbit, but where no one has ever been. Yet through
its Global Climate Change Education initiative, it is also concentrating
on Americans understanding of space and its use in curbing the Earths
climate change.
Last but not least, the U.S. Department of State includes the Oce of
Space and Advanced Technology (OES/SAT), which deals with space
policy issues at the international level, such as minimizing the generation
of orbital debris or encouraging foreign countries to accept the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) as a global standard for navigation based on
satellites.

A brief history
of computer science
Contrary to what many people think, computer science does not deal with
information technology or video games, but should rather be described
as the study of the mathematical foundations of information and computation, and of techniques that permit to implement and apply them in
computer systems.
Modern computer science was developed in the 20th century, although
mathematical theories and the invention of certain devices had already
set the basis of computer engineering. Before the 1920s, human clerks,
especially women with a degree in calculus, were called "computers"
because they performed computations. After that decade, a "computing
machine" performed part of the work of a human computer.
Alan Turing (1912-1954), an English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst,
and computer scientist, is considered the father of computer science. In
1936, he described the Turing Machine, which later inspired the modern
computer. He went on designing software in the 1940s and his Turing Test
(1950) was extremely important in the debate over articial intelligence.
Some key dates (among many others) :
1924 : IBM is founded.
1936 : The Turing Machine is described.
1937 : George Stibitz creates his Model K, the rst device using binary
form to calculate.
1941 : Turing, Newman and Flowers complete Colossus, the rst allelectronic calculating machine.
1947 : Hewlett Packard is founded.
1950 : Turings ACE computer is completed. Several other computers are
developed by other engineers.

1959 : The second generation of computers starts with transistors instead
of tubes.
1962 : The worlds most powerful computer, the Atlas, is launched in
Britain.

A brief history of genetics

William Bateson (1861-1926), who coined the term "genetics" in 1905
and played a major role in the development of early genetics in Britain,
