Dear colleagues,

The online seminars organised by the ESEB-funded STN
network « Integration of Speciation Research » ( [
https://speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/ ] ) is about to restart,
with the first session taking place Tuesday 3rd of March at 5pm CET.

This session falls within the theme "Early Career Researchers in
Speciation", with a new format featuring two talks (1 hour total):

1. José Cerca (Group Leader @ Swedish Museum of Natural History) "The
   identity Crisis of Speciation Genomics"
2. Andrea Estandia (Postdoc @ U. Oxford, UK): "Evolutionary
   Consequences of Island Colonisation in the Silvereye."

followed by a 30 min Q&A with Mark Ravinet (U. Oslo, Norway) about his
career path.

We are grateful to José Cerca for stepping in at short notice as our
previously announced speaker Nare Ngoepe sadly had to cancel.

To attend, please use the following link:

Talks (but not the Q&A) will be recorded and made available here:

also find previous seminar recordings.

The IOS network aims to promote both scientific and community integration
across speciation research. A main objective is to foster diversity
and inclusion across the field. We alternate time slots every month to
maximise the geographic diversity of attendees. The seminar series and
subsequent discussions are open to everyone, from students to established
researchers and non-scientists. Please share this email with anyone
who may be interested, especially those in countries that are typically
underrepresented in scientific discourse. However, please do not post
the zoom link on social media.

The seminar programme is announced by email, on Bluesky
(@speciation-network) and Twitter (@Speciation_net), here on EvolDir,
and on the IOS network website. To automatically receive the programme
and other news from the IOS network, sign up to the mailing list via
the IOS website.

We look forward to seeing you there!
