The workshop photo for the 2019 Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics Workshop All lecturers and participants 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 held July 12-16, 2021. This year it was held online as a set of lectures, computer labs and discussions. It is sponsored by the Friday Harbor Laboratories of the University of Washington. From 2011 to 2019 this workshop has been held in person, since 2017 at the Laboratories in Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington. In 2020 it was cancelled owing to the pandemic. We hope to resume the in-person workshop in 2022.

The email address for the worshop is fhleqg@uw.edu.
