[edit] Meeting time and place

We are meeting this semester in the Bamford Room (TLS 171) Tuesdays 4-5pm.

[edit] Theme for Fall Semester 2008

We've agreed to start the semester with some articles on molecular dating, then spend a couple of weeks on taxonomy papers, and possibly read a revised version of David Baum's tree thinking book. If you are interested in leading a particular week's discussion, please sign up below.
