Tübingen Palaeobiology Seminars & Journal Club Palaeobiology
SoSe 2020
Due to the corona pandemics, no Paleobiology Seminars are taking place at the moment.
WiSe 2019/2020
Tübingen Paleobiology Seminars is a series of talks and discussions on current research topics. It is organized jointly by all Paleogeology groups in Tübingen and serves as an informal forum for academics, students and all those interested in fossils and the geological past. We meet regularly on Monday, in the Hölderlinstr. 12, room S521, 13:15-14:00.
Journal Club Paleobiology is a series of informal meetings and discussions of recently published research papers in the field of paleobiology. Each session is led by a presenter who introduces the topic and organises the discussion. The Journal Club meets every month on Monday, in the Hölderlinstr. 12, room S521, 13:15-14:00.
