Evolution Journal Club
The journal club meets Tuesdays at 10am in WID, and welcomes interested students, faculty, and staff. We meet weekly to discuss an article selected and presented by a participant. Our goal is to discuss controversial topics and/or recent developments in evolutionary science and generate cross-disciplinary discussions about evolution. Participants should come prepared with questions or comments on the readings each week. We have a broad range of participants, so no particular background knowledge is expected or required.
