Bio580 Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Lunch Journal Club
Topic: Genome evolution/potpourri
Instructor: Amanda Larracuente
Class times: Tuesdays 12:30 – 1:45 pm (HH 316)
All registered students are required to read and discuss a paper each week and lead discussions at least twice. Paper selections must be received and approved by Amanda one week prior to the discussion. Registered grad student papers should be on the (very) broad topic of genome evolution. For rapid fire meetings, pick a paper that you can describe in a slide or two to the group. Please send slides to Amanda before noon the day of Journal Club (for rapid fire meetings only).
