The first meeting in the new series of the CEG Journal Club will take place on Monday 5/11/12. We will discuss “Real time evolution of new genes by Innovation, Amplification and Divergence” by Naesvall et al. 2012 (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/338/6105/384.abstract).
Meeting at 4 pm in the Zoology basement seminar room.

3rd CEG Workshop
The third CEG Workshop will take place on the 14th of January 2011 in the Department of Genetics. The aim of this workshop is to bring together people working on different topics of evolutionary genetics in Cambridge. The program can be found here:CEG-program_full
Hopi Hoekstra (Harvard), Max Reuter (UCL) and Jon Slate (University of Sheffield) will be the invited speakers at this year’s workshop.
