<div>Hello,</div>
<div>Would anyone like to meet with this weeks speaker Erol Ackay at 11:15 today? There is a slot open if anyone is interested!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Erol is a post-doc and studies the dynamics of cooperation and conflict in animal social behavior and ecological mutualisms. A list of his papers is below and includes several on 'do we need Sexual Selection' which should be of interest to many students!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You can access his web page here: <a href="http://nimbios.org/~erol/home.html" target="_blank">http://nimbios.org/~erol/home.html</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
