Modeling and Theory in Population Biology
From January-May 2024, a Hybrid Thematic Program will be hosted by the Banff International Research Station, on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. This program "focuses on advancing the field of mathematical population biology, with an emphasis on building a strong community of researchers in the field." A series of online events will be advertised on this site. Organizers are Mark Broom, Emilia Huerta-Sanchez, Ailene MacPherson, Sally Otto, Noah Rosenberg, Maria Servedio, and John Wakeley. CEHG is assisting with these events. To receive updates, please include "Modeling and Theory in Population Biology" in the subject line and contact Larry Bond, lbond@stanford.edu.
All events are listed in the time zone of Banff International Research Station (Mountain time, Canada).
