== Meeting time and place ==
Except for the first meeting, we will meet in the '''Bamford Room (TLS 171) Tuesdays at 4pm'''. The first meeting will be held in the BioPharm 3rd. floor fishbowl (Bamford room reserved at this time by ecology search committee).

For the Fall 2014 semester, we are meeting in the '''Bamford Room (TLS 171B) Mondays 2:30-3:30pm'''
  
== Theme for Spring Semester 2008 ==
+
=== Topics ===
Unless there is loud objection, the theme this semester will be '''Tree Thinking'''. David Baum (Univ. Wisconsin, Madison) is writing a book on Tree Thinking and has agreed to let us read the chapters he has written in return for some constructive criticism. Baum's book will be supplemented with some thought-provoking and heated-debate-generating papers on subjects such as these:
+
As the semester progresses, please feel free to add to this running list of sources of systematic error, tests for that error, methods to account for that error, and relevant literature for that error.
* can you ever say that a clade is basal?
+
* do non-uniform clade priors make sense?
+
* what can and can't fossils say about node age
+
* when gene trees and species trees are both right, but different
+
* the signature of an adaptive radiation
+
Some suggested papers are listed below the schedule in the section entitled [[#Some possibilities|Some possibilities]].

Two of our Tuesday time slots this semester will be taken over by departmental seminars, so rather than waste the first time slot with an organizational meeting, let's get right into things with a consideration of the meaning of the word ''basal''.
