Evolution 3000H: 15

Welcome to the class wiki. This works just like Wikipedia, except it is easier to edit.

• To create a new page, click the New Page (+) button.
• To edit the current page, click the Edit (pencil) button.

John added this and a link to xkcd.

Admin added a link to sports. And I did verify that if everybody has a unique login I can evaluate what changes they make. Which is do-able for a smaller class size, each using their UGA MyID as login and password set by me but then they can change it if they want.

I also am pretty sure that this page is currently visible by ANYBODY but only editable if the administrator (me) makes your userid "OK" for this page.

May want to see if we want to make this into a podcast? And can I change the header? There, did that.

Idea for the class: obviously I need to clean up this space, but would populate it with some resources like the ECCO white paper. But the theme is how evolution may ameliorate or alter our predictions about climate change in the sea. It isn't that the sea is more important, that just lets us focus on a smaller array of literature and effects, and on generally non-model organisms.

We should read the white paper, and perhaps the Hosler book on Evolution so they are all on the same page from the beginning of the class with regard to variation and importance of. Then get into work by Greg Wray on urchin genomics and SST, ocean acidification; Morgan Kelly on Tigriopus, other stuff from workshop. Class builds wiki to produce a web resource, which I grade by participation seeing the number and quality of edits.

Each week we discuss one thing together, they each ADD one thing to the mix, and first look to see if another did, they can add to it so we get some depth based on topical interest and depth of coverage.

Blog about this work-in-progress to SeaMonster. Here below an imbed of vimeo?

Christie's lionfish tattoo from John Bruno on Vimeo. Worked once I went to the HTML editor above. If this wiki and blog are structured well, there is a temporal and/or topical line to be followed so it could be used for a tutorial of some sort. That is a useful product. Could then put that on grant renewal info. But, by and large, let them create it, including the narrative distilled from ECCO documents etc.
