The first Lent term meeting of the Philosophy of Biology Reading Group will take place at 2pm tomorrow in HPS *Seminar Room 2*.
If you are not familiar with the department, this room is easy to find: just go through the front door and down the stairs. I will be introducing 'Natural Selection in the Abstract', Chapter 1 of Samir Okasha's _Evolution and the Levels of Selection_ (2006, OUP).
