EEB Journal Club

April 15, 2020

. . . Friday, April 17.  Amanda Beckman will be presenting a paper about the life history of the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), that ubiquitous scientific model organism! We hope to spin this off into a conversation about the usefulness of model organisms and what their limitations are. The paper is attached, along with a little extra reading in case anyone’s keen. We do not yet have a guest speaker for this meeting, so if you’d like to suggest someone who has some insight or has worked extensively with model organisms (PI or post-doc), please let me, Zach, or Faith know as soon as possible and we’ll reach out to them. They can be on or off campus.  [Modlinska and Pisula]    [Alfred and Baldwin]

The ZOOM link for the meeting is https://tamu.zoom.us/j/622380408. As always, 4 pm.

Last week was our best attended meeting in a long time, so we hope to keep the momentum going!

. . . Friday, September 27.  For this week’s journal club, Jamie Alfieri will lead the discussion on how “linkage” affects the absence of negative selection signals in cancer cells, not a lack of negative selection. As usual, we will meet at O’Bannon’s at 4 PM on Friday. Hope to see everyone there!  [Tilk et al 2019]

Friday, September 6.  For this week’s journal club, Steven Bovio will lead a discussion on widespread biases in EEB. The attached paper addresses geographic, taxonomic, and citation biases in publications between temperate and tropical systems.
Steven will focus most on what these biases mean, how they influence our understanding of the natural world, and what the community can do moving forward. We will meet on Friday at 4PM at O’Bannon’s in Northgate. Hope to see everyone there!
