We’re excited to be trying a new conference this year: the African Society of Human Genetics (AfSHG) conference in collaboration with H3Africa, in Kigali Rwanda, 19th-21st September. The conference is a fantastic opportunity for African scientists to showcase their work, build collaborations and learn more about their field of research. For us, it’s great to see what research is going on outside of our usual sphere, as well as to promote our free database and training to researchers who could benefit from it.
