Event Description:
IBEST Lunch - BEACON Undressed
Join the Institute for Bioinformatics and Evolutionary Studies for the IBEST Lunch. James Foster will present on BEACON. The BEACON Center for the Study of Evolution in Action approaches evolution in an innovative way, bringing together biologists, computer scientists and engineers to study evolution as it happens and apply this knowledge to solve real-world problems. BEACON is an NSF Science and Technology Center, headquartered out of Michigan State University with partners at North Carolina A&T State University, University of Idaho, University of Texas at Austin and University of Washington. IBEST is an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Idaho focused on understanding the patterns and processes of evolution that occur over comparatively short periods of time. The hallmarks of IBEST research are the coupling of empirical and theoretical research, and a strong orientation toward rigorous testing of hypotheses. We place a high value on interdisciplinary collaborations that blend the expertise of biologists, biochemists, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, mathematicians, staticians, and computer scientists to examine the underpinnings of evolutionary biology.
