Revision as of 18:00, 24 August 2007

This is the home page of the UConn EEB department's Systematics Seminar. This is a graduate seminar devoted to issues of interest to graduate students and faculty who make up the systematics program at the University of Connecticut. This (Spring, 2007) semester, we are meeting each Tuesday at 4pm in the BioPharm 3rd. floor "fishbowl" conference room.

Password required to access PDFs

The papers for discussion are available as PDF files, but to keep us from getting into hot water with the journals involved, a username and password are required for access. If you have forgotten the username/password, please contact Paul Lewis.

Schedule for Spring Semester 2007

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Organizational meeting, BioPharm 3rd. floor fishbowl, 4pm

Information about joining and using the email list

To send a message to the list

Address your message to systematics@darwin.eeb.uconn.edu.

To subscribe to the list

Send an email message to the address majordomo@darwin.eeb.uconn.edu with a blank subject and a one-line message body saying only

subscribe systematics

Note: it is best to avoid appending your signature to this message, as the majordomo program may try to interpret parts of your signature to be commands.

To unsubscribe yourself

Send a message to majordomo@darwin.eeb.uconn.edu saying only

unsubscribe systematics

(again, leaving the subject blank and avoiding the signature if possible).
