EEB Journal Club

January 22, 2020

. . . Friday, January 24. By an anonymous vote, we’ll be having the EEB journal club on campus this semester and roll on to Happy Hour at a bar of our choice afterwards. Hopefully, this will make it more accessible to those who have other commitments after or before. Due to the difficulty of getting a room, we’ve chosen to have it in Butler 202 at 4pm on Fridays. All grad students, post docs and professors are encouraged to attend when they can.

To start, this Friday (Jan. 24) I’ll be presenting this paper on the genomics of ancient Rome. This paper came out late last year and is a really nice example of what we can do with high coverage, high throughput genomic sequencing.   [Ancient genetics of Rome]

If you’d like to present a paper on whatever makes you excited to be doing science, here’s a link to the spreadsheet with the dates we’ll be meeting.

If you’d like to do something off the classic papers spreadsheet Zach mentioned, see this link.  Any professors reading this, feel free to add more to this spreadsheet, especially ecology & behavior.

EEB Journal Club

January 14, 2020

Hi all,

Hope everyone had a great break. This semester, the EEB journal club will be coordinated by myself (Zach Hancock) and Emma Lehmberg. The first meeting will be this Friday at 4:00 on the 2nd Floor of Butler Hall in room 202. We will be meeting in what is lovingly referred to as “Huxley’s Hole” at the end of the hallway.

In the past we’ve held journal club at O’Bannon’s, but we’d like to give the opportunity this year to change the venue. This Friday we will vote on whether we’d like to keep having journal club here, or if we’d prefer to have it on campus (or at a different bar). In addition, we’d like to discuss how to increase attendance from the EEB students, especially the newer cohorts.

EEB journal club is a great opportunity to meet people in other cohorts, learn what your colleagues are doing, and importantly become exposed to primary literature that may be outside of your field.

If you are unable to attend the meeting this Friday but are planning on attending future journal clubs and would like to cast a vote on location, please send me an email with your preference (zhancock@bio.tamu.edu).

Thanks and we look forward to seeing everyone this Friday.

. . . Friday, October 25.  This week, Gaston Jofre will present a paper that proposes word choice is guided by positive frequency-dependent selection – a bias that makes speakers disproportionately likely to use the words that most others use. Come join the discussion at O’Bannon’s at 4PM on Friday. Hope to see everyone there! [Page et al 2018]
