BESIII is a new state-of-the-art 4π detector at the recently upgraded BEPCII two-ring e + e − collider at the Institute of High Energy Physics in Beijing. It has been in operation for three years, during which time it has collected the world's largest data samples of J/ψ, ψ ′ and ψ(3770) decays. These data are being used to make a variety of interesting and unique studies of lighthadron spectroscopy, precision charmonium physics and high-statistics measurements of D meson decays. Results that I describe in this report include studies of a 0 (980)-f 0 (980) mixing, an observation of a large isospin-violation in η(1405) → π 0 f 0 (980) decays, some puzzles in J/ψ and ψ ′ decays to light hadrons, the observation of two glueball candidate states in radiative J/ψ → γπ + π − η ′ decays and some recent precision measurements of η c and h c lineshapes.
