Seminar on Functional Evolutionary Genomics
Graduate Seminar Zoology 957, 1 Credit, Spring 2001
Mondays 12:00 -1:15pm, Birge Hall 447

Next Monday (22 jan) we will have an organizational meeting for the seminar on Functional Evolutionary Genomics at Noon, Birge Hall, Room 447. At the meeting I will outline the objectives of the course/seminar series, discuss the readings, and list the requirements for graduate students taking the course (20 min talk plus short (3-4 page) paper). Also, there will be a clipboard for the graduate students to sign up for speaking slots for the second half of the semester.

The following lists the schedule for the guest speakers. [This list is tentative; check with Carol Lee for current information.]
