A presenter in a dark suit and light shirt stands at a podium, gesturing while speaking. Behind him is a projected slide showing a Nature journal article titled 'Population genomics of the Viking world.' The slide features the journal cover with a Viking ship and text excerpts discussing findings about Greenland Norse populations and their genetic ancestry. The article was published in September 2020.
