Population genetics journal club 2008-2009

The population genetics journal club meets approximately every other Friday 12:00-1:00pm in Palmer Commons room 2036 (on the 2nd floor of the building, right next to the elevators in the center of the building). This is an informal gathering to discuss some of the latest topics in population genetics.

Organizers are Noah Rosenberg and Sebastian Zöllner. To receive announcements about upcoming journal club events, send an email to Sebastian (uniqname szoellne).
