We welcome speakers Gideon Bradburd and Lacey Knowles > (University of Michigan, USA). > > The session will last 1.5 hours, with the first hour dedicated to > talks from our speakers followed by questions. The last half-an-hour > is dedicated to a more general discussion. > > To attend the session live, please use the following link: > https://ift.tt/psme1x2 > > Talks (but not the discussion session) are recorded and made available > here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClEkDdE_5sDw70SQq78DIAA. > > The IOS network aims to promote scientific integration and also > integration of the community. A main objective on this front is to > foster diversity and inclusion across the field. The seminar series > and subsequent discussion is open to everyone, from students to > established researchers and non-scientists alike. In order to maximise > the geographic diversity of attendees, we will alternate between two > time slots every other month: 5 pm CET and 9 am CET. Please help us to > circulate this email to anyone who may be interested, especially those > in countries that are typically underrepresented in scientific > discourse. > > The programme of the seminar series is announced by email, on Twitter > (@Speciation_net) and on the IOS network website. People who wish to > automatically receive the programme and other news from the IOS > network can sign up to the network mailing list from the IOS website. > > We look forward to seeing you there! > > The STN IOS organising committee: > > Jonna Kulmuni (chair), Chris Cooney, Sean Stankowski, Carole Smadja > (co-chairs), Sonal Singhal, Liz Scordato, Joana Meier, Richard > Merrill, Konrad Lohse, Nick Barton and Roger Butlin > > NERC Research Fellow > School of Biosciences > University of Sheffield > www.cooneylab.co.uk > > > Chris Cooney
