38800. Introduction to Research in Evolutionary Biology
Field Museum Curators
Introduction to Research at the Field Museum. This course meets once a week for a lecture by a curator at the Field Museum. A different curator lectures each week, presenting results of her/his current research on a range of topics in evolutionary biology, including phylogenetic systematics, molecular biology, paleontology, development, conservation biology and biodiversity, population biology, or biomechanics. Lectures are often followed by a tour of one of the world’s major natural history collections of living or fossil birds, mammals, plants, insects, fishes, invertebrates, or amphibians and reptiles.

40100. Grants, Publications and Professional Issues
Bergelson, Flynn
Covers professional topics in evolutionary biology, such as strategies in grant and article writing, construction and submission of professional articles for journals in the field, career alternatives and strategies, ethical issues, etc. Topics are decided on by enrolled students and faculty leading the seminar.
