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 30 April 2024, 5 pm CET. The upcoming session addresses the topic of "Spatial patterns of speciation". We welcome speakers Gideon Bradburd and Lacey Knowles (University of Michigan, USA). 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. To attend the session live, please use the following link: https://gu-se.zoom.us/j/63975939157 Talks (but not the discussion session) are recorded and made available here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClEkDdE_5sDw70SQq78DIAA. The IOS network aims to promote scientific integration and also integration of the community. A main objective on this front 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. In order to maximise the geographic diversity of attendees, we will alternate between two time slots every other month: 5 pm CET and 9 am CET. Please help us to circulate this email to 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. People who wish to automatically receive the programme and other news from the IOS network can sign up to the network mailing list from the IOS website. We look forward to seeing you there!
