Venues and Excursion
Public keynote and Opening Reception/ Preregistration, September 20th
The Public keynote will take place by Prof. Eske Willerslev in the Aula at the Aarhus University-Main Campus.
Title: Hunting the Molecular Past Human population genomics, disease genetics, pathogens, and environmental DNA
Over the past decade ancient genomics have changed our understanding of human history, disease evolution, and ecosystem changes in responses to changing climates. In this talk, I will present several examples of work, where my group has used ancient genomics to address questions related to archaeology, ecology and medicine. It will cover the environment before the last Ice Age, the mass extinction of the Ice Age mammals, the early peopling of the Americas and Europe, the origins of multiple sclerosis and other diseases, as well as the spread and evolution of human pathogens.

If you participated in previous ESHE online conferences your account will be reactivated and you can log in using your previous credentials as per the email sent. Logging into the Google ESHE account is the same as logging into any Google account.
The following instructions assume that you are using Google Chrome. It likely works with other browsers, but Chrome also likely does the best job of managing your login. If you don't have Chrome, you can download it here.
Step 1:
Open Chrome. If you already have a Google account, you may want to log out of all accounts first by clicking on your account in the upper right corner.
If you do not have an account or once you have logged out, click on the right-left corner where it says "Sign in".
Step 2:

On the Sign screen, use the login name we sent to you. Normally this should be the same name you use for your contact email with ESHE plus
@eshe-conference.eu. If you have trouble finding this, please contact us at meetings@eshe-conference.eu.
Step 4:
Now provide your password. Again, if you are a new participant we sent this to you in an email. If you have participated in previous online ESHE, use your old password. If you have trouble remembering your old password click on the ''forgot password'', we set the recovery email as your normal ESHE contact mail. If you encounter any problems during this procedure, please contact
meetings@eshe-conference.eu.
Step 5:
For new participants: When you first log in, Google will require you to set a new password. It is important that you use something secure but also something that you can remember for the duration of the conference. Note that it is impossible for us to know your password once you have reset it. If you do have trouble afterwards logging back into the system, we can reset your password. We have also made your normal ESHE contact email address the
recovery address for your password. Again, if you have trouble, contact us at meetings@eshe-conference.eu.
