New Semester!

Welcome back! As you remember we are discussing the following book this term:

http://books.google.ca/books/about/Philosophy_of_Biology.html?id=MGkoAQAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y

We need to start this term with an organizational meeting, which will occur next week. The following week we will begin reading the book.

Points of discussion:

1) Day of the week and time for our weekly meeting
2) Scheduling people to lead the weekly discussions (we will still appoint people to lead every discussion, this will encourage equal participation)

I have created a doodle poll for the organizational meeting. Please fill it out! If you do not, your availability cannot be taken into consideration.

As with last term, we will be updating the discussion group blog with interesting papers and hopefully responses to our weekly discussions.

If you would like to contribute, please create a blogspot account and I can add you to the list of contributors. As with last term, we are prohibiting negative comments or posts from the blog. Any posts that bash or belittle discussion group members, authors, or anyone else will be removed and the rights of the blogger will be revoked. This blog is fully public and linked from more than one site. Our professional reputations are at stake and we will not tolerate inappropriate use of the site.

Thanks! I look forward to seeing everyone this term.
