Three of our lab members, Çağatay, Deniz, and Elif participated in the Workshop on Genomic Methods in Ecology and Evolution, held on 7-8 Feb. 2015 in Mersin, Turkey.

The workshop organized by the Institute of Marine Sciences, Middle East Technical University, Mersin, and by the members of the Ecology and Evolution Network of Turkey.

We did not have any presentation in the workshop, but we had many opportunities to discuss on up-to-date issues in genetics, and we learned much at the end. We also discussed the possible future collaborations with some of the participants.

One of the main discussions in the workshop was about the establishment of an association of ecology and evolutionary biology in Turkey; that will be based on the Ecology and Evolution Network of Turkey. Hoping that we will give more developments about this association soon here.
