C.R.O.P is our weekly journal club for anyone interested in evolution. We meet on Tuesday at 4.15 pm at Theatercafe Filmdose for an open discussion about the weekly paper in a relaxed atmosphere.

Until further notice we will meet in the seminar room on the 3rd floor of the Biocenter

Anybody is welcome to join us. The idea is that everyone reads the paper before and we dive directly in without formal presentation of the paper. If you would like to suggest a paper please email Markus.
