Do you wish there were more opportunities for exciting discussions on a wide range of biological topics with your fellow graduate students? If so, come join the evolution reading club to fraternize with students from both sides of the department. We are focused on evolution as the connecting link between MCEB and EEOB. We meet twice a month over zoom (and someday in person) and drinks, to discuss papers and books that we as the group have selected together. Generally, one graduate student is in charge of putting together a brief presentation (a few slides) to help facilitate an intriguing discussion. We encourage all grad students but especially first-years to come meet and stay connected with graduate students from older years and different fields. Please join us this upcoming year as we do our best to stay connected during this socially-distanced time.
