The Ecology and Evolution of Everything: A Discussion Group

January 20, 2016 News and Announcements

We will meet:

This & Every Thursday @ 11:00 – 12:15
in centrally located 
101 Norman Smith Hall
Intended for students, faculty, and staff!

This spring, faculty from Biology & Ecology, Economics, and Wildlife Ecology will again offer a weekly discussion group open to all who are interested.  Largely the group will cover three themes across both non-human and human systems:

1. Ecology
2. Evolution
3. Complex Adaptive Systems

During each meeting, faculty, research staff, or graduate students from any academic unit will either:
A) present unpolished ideas on their research in one of the above themes or 
B) discuss a recent, titillating article (that has broad accessibility) addressing these themes.  
Folks in the past have presented thesis proposals, grant drafts, paper ideas, conference talks, and just plain things they wanted input on.  And we’ve covered readings concerning the application of theory in diverse circumstances (e.g. conservation biology, health sciences, natural resource extraction, human language, sociology, community engineering).  
We encourage all who are interested from any academic unit to attend.
