[Bgsa] Meeting with the the speaker?

[Teri Orr]

Hello,
Would anyone like to meet with this weeks speaker Erol Ackay at 11:15
today?  There is a slot open if anyone is interested!

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!

You can access his web page here: http://nimbios.org/~erol/home.html

Thanks!
Teri
