Dobzhansky club
Journal Club Description
In this weekly journal club we’ll be discussing topics in ecology and evolutionary genomics, alternating between recent papers and presentations on ongoing work (i.e. with the purpose of getting input, not a smooth research presentation). All members and master thesis students of the Evolutionary Biology Division are encouraged to attend and to present their projects. Everyone else interested in a specific topic is welcomed to join!
This semester the seminar will be held online.
When: Tuesdays, 13:00 - 14:00
Online location Zoom: link
meeting ID: 992 7316 1813
