Welcome to the Evolution Discussion Group (EDG) at the Zoology Department of the University of British Columbia.
To help control the spread of COVID-19 EDG is now meeting virtually via Zoom. For access join the listserv or email natola(at)zoology.ubc.ca
Meetings are Fridays at 12:00 noon. Our purpose is to discuss recent research papers in evolutionary biology.
All graduate students, postdocs, and faculty interested in evolutionary biology are welcome. Feel free to bring your lunch.
