FoE is sponsored by the Evolution Group in the Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Irvine. FoE is focused on presentations of recent work and work in progress primarily by Graduate Students and Postdocs. If you are a student or postdoc and would like to present, whether you are at UC Irvine or not, feel free to contact Grace Lee (gylee@uci.edu) or Brandon Gaut (bgaut@uci.edu) to see if you can fit into the schedule for future quarters!

Rules
- We would like to have 40 minute presentations, so that there is plenty of time for discussion and comment afterward.
- Please allow for 2 to 3 question breaks during the presentation for question. This way, questions can be asked before the end of the presentation.
- Unpublished work presented in FoE must be treated as confidential.
- Students and postdocs are expected to contribute both as contributors and as active members of discussions.
- Faculty are encouraged not to ask questions until students and postdocs have had a chance to contribute to the discussion first.
