The venerable Biosystematists group (http://www.biosystematists.org/),
operating since 1936, is the only inter-institutional seminar/
discussion group on evolution for the Bay Area. The group was heavily
involved in the Modern Synthesis itself (see the history on the
website), so this is an especially appropriate topic!
Schedule and venue:
5:30 - social gathering with beverages (beer and soft drinks) and
informal
pizza dinner: cost ca. $10, to be collected at door, 2063 Valley Life
Sciences Bldg., UC Berkeley campus.
7:00 - talk followed by discussion, in same room.
