Discussion Groups & Journal Clubs
- Club Endo
Organizer: Greg Demas (gdemas@indiana.edu)
Club Endo is an informal journal club focusing on all things hormonal. Anyone interested in hormones, regardless of reason (teaching, research, other), regardless of species (plants, insects, vertebrates, whatever), and regardless of levels of action (cellular, molecular, organismal, behavioral, etc.) is welcome to attend the journal club.
Club Endo was initiated during the 2021 fall semester. It may emerge this spring as well. Stay tuned. Contact Greg Demas to be added to the Club Endo Canvas site to receive announcements and updates.
- Ecolunch
Organizer: Rich Phillips (rpp6@indiana.edu)
12:00 noon on MondaysSign up for the Ecolunch email distribution list
The Ecolunch forum is an Ecology lunchtime discussion group. It brings together people on the IU Bloomington campus who study ecology at a variety of levels of biological organization—from genetics to populations and community ecology to ecosystems.
We typically have one or two people present some of their current research, with the aim of sharing ideas and results, getting feedback from the diverse group, and thinking about ecology and our research in new and broader ways.
We encourage interaction among researchers of all ecological disciplines. Recent presentations have focused on molecular, population, disease, ecotoxicology, and community ecology. We invite researchers with diverse interests to expand the breadth of our discussions.
Check the IU Biology events calendar for Ecolunch dates and topics.
Because Ecolunch is about circulating scientific ideas and professionalism, we offer guidance on how to give a presentation. See “How to give a seminar (or lecture)” by Curt Lively and Lynda Delph.
