Workshop: Taming the BEAST in the South Pacific
Members of the MEEP Lab will be part of the teaching team for the upcoming workshop “Taming the BEAST in the South Pacific” in February 2017. Phylogenetics and phylodynamics are central topics in modern biology. Phylogenetic inferences reconstruct the evolutionary relationships between organisms, whereas phylodynamic inferences reveal the dynamics that lead to the observed relationships. …
