This week the entire Genographic Project team travelled from all over the world to Tallinn, Estonia for our third annual Genographic Project Scientific Conference! We have had the most amazingly warm welcome from President Toomas Hendrik Ilves as well as from Richard Villems, who also is from Estonia. It's been great to see all of our friends here - the Genographic Project works with a diverse bunch of geneticists, anthropologists, linguists, computational biologists, as well as our friends at Applied Biosystems, IBM and the Waitt Family Foundation. So to get everyone in the same room and chatting about our work so far has been awesome. Additionally, Richard Villems brought along some `home-team` scientists from Tartu and Tallinn to a roundtable discussion at the Estonian Academy of Science.
