Next week there will be a seminar by a candidate for a lectureship at Sydney uni (joint between medicine and science) who has a strong interest in mathematical biology. His name is Aaron Darling - he is currently at UC Davis. His seminar is Monday Jan 31, at 1pm in the Norman Gregg Lecture Theatre (Edward Ford building). I have not been given a title for THAT seminar but he is giving another talk this week titled - Gene flow and speciation in populations of bacteria and archaea from a genomic perspective. Although the talk title sounds very biological his background is more in maths and computing and I know that Aaron has expressed an interest in talking to people from maths. People in Maths may well also get approached via the Dean’s office about this but I thought I would give you advance notice just in case. I would greatly appreciate it if you could advertise the seminar to anyone in maths who you think may be interested in this area.
