Contrary to yesterday's post, the Sex & Recombination meeting has now been cancelled. The flooding is bad and is getting worse in Iowa City. This turn of events is very disappointing, but necessary.
Some of us who were combining this meeting with the Evolution meetings will be spending the first part of next week hanging around in sex-less Minneapolis. Post a comment here if you want to join us.
