Fantastic Forces

A workshop on evolutionary genetics, returning Summer 2020 @EdinburghUni, Scotland. Funded by Fisher Memorial Trust, School of Bio Sciences and IEB (UoE)

[Fantastic Forces @ForcesWorkshop]

We're sad to announce we have decided to cancel Fantastic Forces 2020 at @EdinburghUni. We hope to see you all soon! Stay safe!

[Fantastic Forces @ForcesWorkshop]

Fantastic Forces is back! New location, stellar group of speakers, June 11&12 2020. More info soon!

[Alun Jones @101Alun]

Awesome to see @ForcesWorkshop and @jessicaagking featured in the genetics society news alongside work from @OliveriLab so cool to see groups I’ve been involved with doing so well. PhD students if ever get chance to go to the workshop 100% do it

[Fantastic Forces @ForcesWorkshop]

And that's a wrap! A huge thank-you to all the speakers for such interesting talks, and to a fantastic group of attendees!
Hope you've enjoyed the first edition of the @ForcesWorkshop at @univofstandrews

[Fantastic Forces @ForcesWorkshop]

Today is our last day! This time we are estimating heritabilities from simulated data! Tutorial led by Jessica King.

[Fantastic Forces @ForcesWorkshop]

Today we're estimating selection coefficients using time series data! Tutorial led by Carolina Barata.

[Fantastic Forces @ForcesWorkshop]

Having fun with NGS data! Tutorial led by Alberto Carmagnini.

Thanks @Nathcmedd for helping out!

[Fantastic Forces @ForcesWorkshop]

@alex_fig @BarataCarol @univofstandrews @SchoolofBiology You should come next year! (If we do this again)

[Fantastic Forces @ForcesWorkshop]

We're getting started! @univofstandrews

[Fantastic Forces @ForcesWorkshop]

Check out our complete schedule!! It starts tomorrow and we can't wait!
