Dear colleagues, The next instalment of the online seminar series organised by the ESEB-funded STN network « Integration of Speciation research » ( [ https://speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/ ] ) will be held on 12 November 2024 at ** 5pm CET ** The upcoming session addresses the topic of "Learning and imprinting in speciation". We welcome speakers Maria Servedio (University of North Carolina, USA) and Gabriel Jamie (University of Cape Town, South Africa). The session will last 1.5 hours, with the first hour dedicated to talks from our speakers followed by questions. The last half-an-hour is dedicated to a more general discussion.

The IOS network aims to promote scientific integration and also integration of the community. A main objective is to foster diversity and inclusion across the field. The seminar series and subsequent discussion is open to everyone, from students to established researchers and non-scientists alike. To maximise the geographic diversity of attendees we alternate time slots every month. Please share this email with anyone who may be interested, especially those in countries that are typically underrepresented in scientific discourse. The programme of the seminar series is announced by email, on Twitter (@Speciation_net) and on the IOS network website. To automatically receive the programme and other news from the IOS network, sign up to the network mailing list via the IOS website. We look forward to seeing you there!
