2006 Newsletter

No matter where one looks, the theme of cross-disciplinary research is evident. The UW campus has been positioning itself to take advantage of this theme starting with “cluster hires” intended to bring new faculty members to campus who work at the boundaries and interfaces of different disciplines. Recently, the Laboratory of Genetics became the administrative home for the evolution initiative. This initiative brings faculty interested in evolutionary biology together for research, journal clubs, symposium and outreach. This environment attracts new students and faculty members interested in evolution to Madison. These collaborative ties will greatly enhance the Genetics Training Program.
