Major Problems in Evolutionary Transitions: Toward a Metabolism-Based Account of Macroevolution

Our next reading group is meeting will be next Tuesday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. in the McShea Lab, 223 BioSci. We will be reading Maureen O’Malley and Russell Powell’s paper, “Major Problems in Evolutionary Transitions: Toward a Metabolism-Based Account of Macroevolution.” Russell Powell will be with us to discuss the paper and– if technology holds up– Maureen O’Malley will teleconference in. I love this paper and its approach and promise this is going to be a great meeting. Many thanks to Dan McShea for opening his office to us.
Secondly, Peter Godfrey-Smith will be speaking at the East Union Thursday, April 24 at 11 a.m. I will send more details about that soon
