Lab Meetings

Our weekly meetings involve discussion of papers related to population or quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, plant evolution, DNA sequencing, and computational biology. Everyone is welcome to attend! You’ll even get a chance to lead the discussion! Participants in our lab meeting are also tracking relevant journals that cover genetics, genomics and evolutionary biology.

During spring 2024, meetings are every Friday from 9:00 - 10:00 AM in 409 Borlaug Hall. For the time being, we are moving to remote meetings. Here is the Zoom join link for meeting ID 912 2609 7732.

For a list of classic papers, see our Reading the Classics page.
