Evolution Working Group
The ALLELE series is hosted by a steering committee at The University of Alabama called the Evolution Working Group (EVOWOG). EVOWOG participation is open to any UA faculty or affiliated educators or scholars whose teaching or research interests are evolution-oriented. To join the EVOWOG listserv, log into https://listserv.ua.edu and search for the (unlisted) "EVOWOG" list.
Contact any one of us directly or through the ALLELE Facebook page for more information or to get involved.
If you are a student interested in evolution, feel free to contact any of us, and consider the Evolutionary Studies minor.
