Interactive models of evolving populations help students understand natural selection, population genetics, and evolutionary engineering

Speaker:
Dr. Jon Herron
Institution:
University of Washington, Seattle | Department of Biology
Seminar date:
Monday, November 7, 2022 - 12:00 to 13:00
Location:
HCK 132

Students learn science by doing science. I will demonstrate individual-based models of evolving populations that let students hone their understanding of fundamental concepts in evolutionary biology—by making predictions and checking them against data in real time.

Please bring a laptop or tablet (although even a phone will work). Please be ready to collaborate. There's nothing you need to install or do ahead of time, but this link will be useful during the seminar:
