On behalf of Dr. Michael Lynch, who will be teaching a class in Evolutionary Cell Biology in Spring 2025 semester, I'm writing to share the Zoom link (https://asu.zoom.us/j/86824596554) of his class. The class is from 9am to 10:15am every Tuesday and Thursday, from the week of Jan 13 to the week of April 28. The class is open to the public and people who are interested in this topic, and it would be fantastic if EvolDir could help share this info with your members and readers. ---- Please see below for some details regarding the class provided by Dr. Lynch, and thank you for sharing this with your networks. EvolutionarCell Biology is a new emerging subdiscipline that strives to integrate the fields of cell biology, biophysics, bioenergetics, and evolutionary theory in novel ways, in an attempt to develop a more comprehensive field of evolutionary biology focused at the mechanistic level. A graduate course will be offered this semester at Arizona State University by Michael Lynch, who also happens to be the author of Evolutionary Cell Biology: The Origins of Cellular Architecture. Oxford Univ. Press, Oxford, UK, 2024. In a series of 24 75-minute lectures, the course will cover all of the chapters in this book, and taught at a level that should be accessible to those with an undergraduate level of understanding of cell and evolutionary biology. As part of our NSF Biological Integration Institute on Cellular Mechanisms of Evolution, we are providing an opportunity on Zoom for anyone who wishes to link in and listen. The lectures will also be recorded and subsequently made available open-access. The course will be taught on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 to 10:15 am (MST), starting on 16 January 2025.

Those who wish to attend should also provide Victor with your name and email address, so we can contact you with announcements. ---- Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.
