Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics Workshop
June 4 - June 9, 2023
| |
Please note -- We did not get enough applications for this workshop to enable it to be held in 2023, either as an in-person workshop or as an online
workshop. In 2024 it was not possible to schedule it at Friday Harbor Laboratories. We are in the process of
forming a new committee to head the workshop, headed by Josef Uyeda from Virginia Tech University. Many of the
previous lecturers will be involved. We hope to announce a 2025 in-person Workshop, probably on new dates
and at a new location. Watch this space.

are shown except for lecturer Patrick Phillips, who left earlier. The photo was taken by Kathy Cowell, to whom thanks.
It was taken on a knoll next to the main Friday Harbor Laboratories building. The back row of people are bending down
so you can see the scene behind us. A tour boat can be seen in the background, leaving Friday Harbor. From left to right, a small point sticking
our from the FHL site, then behind it
part of Shaw Island, Lopez Island, Turn Island, Pear Point on San Juan Island, and Brown Island can be seen in the background. On the horizon
mountains near Mount Baker can be seen on the left, then the hills on other islands.
These are the webpages for the Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics Workshop, which was to be held June 4 - 9, 2023. In 2023 it would have been an in-person
workshop held at the Friday Harbor Laboratories of the University of Washington, in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island.
The Workshop has been held yearly since 2011, with the exception of 2020. Since 2017 the in-person workshops have been held at Friday Harbor Laboratories. In 2021
and in 2022, owing to the pandemic, it was held as an online workshop.
The email address for the worshop is fhleqg@gmail.com.

the heading of this page and follow the links to individual lectures and exercises, and the links to videos of the lectures
for the years in which those were posted. The 2023 workshop is co-sponsored by The American Society of Naturalists, the Society of Systematic
Biologists, and by the Society for the Study of Evolution.
