Eco-Theoretic Cafe Workshops

Hello all!

The Eco-Theoretic Cafe is starting back up this year.

First meeting on Thursday October 13th, 11am, in W3/18.

We are calling an emergency meeting. The state of theoretical ecology and evolution dangles dangerously above a cold unapologetic ocean overfull with ferocious data-driven sharks. When they will evolve legs and eat every last one of us, no one can say. But without your help, it will surely come to be. Please meet with us over coffee and apple pie, when we will pleasantly discuss the merits (and downfalls) of logic and theory in describing life on this planet. The idea is to basically organize a time we all can meet and to hash out a schedule for the rest of the semester.


The first `real' meeting will be on Monday October 17th, 11am, in W3/18. This will likely be our regular meeting time. Mehdi Cherif (Fussmann post-doc; http://biology.mcgill.ca/faculty/fussmann/postDocs.html) will give an introduction to stoichiometric modeling in ecology, a topic he is currently writing a book chapter on.
