Welcome to the Zürich Evolution Discussion Group!
The aim of this journal club is to discuss interesting papers in the field of evolutionary biology.
We meet every Tuesdays from 5 to 6pm at ETH Zentrum, CHN building, H floor, room H78, Universitätstr. 22.
Everyone is welcome! If you want to join, just send an email to Frédéric Guillaume [frederic.guillaume /at/ env.ethz.ch].
