NLSEB educators meeting (follow-up)
Dear NLSEB member,
In January an inter-university educational project was started with the aim of developing knowledge clips for first year evolutionary biology courses. After this very fruitful meeting, the next meeting is planned on Friday March 24th. Then we’d like to further develop more specific format(s) for knowledge clips and (discuss how to) recruit volunteers to record these clips.
We hope to gather a group of people in which each Dutch university (with a course on evolutionary biology) has at least one representative. We especially invite PhD students and postdocs to join us, because we value ideas on education from people at all career stages, and because we want the knowledge clips to represent the diversity of evolutionary researchers in the Netherlands. Please spread the word and invite others as well if you think they could make a good contribution to this project!
For the coming meeting, after short introductory talks on the practical sides of producing knowledge clips, we’ll ask your (creative) input that’s necessary to develop and eventually shoot the first NLSEB-knowledge-clips!
The meeting will take place from 12:30 – 17:00 hr at the campus of Utrecht University, in the Hugo R. Kruyt building room O1.28. Lunch and drinks will be provided!
Please fill out the form (link below) if you would like to participate in this meeting! https://forms.gle/yKLmHRHXCQexE84o6
Best regards,
Jelle Zandveld and Hilje Doekes

Joint NLSEB/BioSB Symposium, 15 Feb 2023
15 February 2023, NLSEB and BioSB will join forces and co-organize a symposium on evolution in and of cell communities at the VU Amsterdam. Prof. Paul Rainey (MPI for Evolutionary Biology, Plön) and 8 other speakers will shed their light on evolutionary processes operating within and among microbial communities, as well as in developing cancer lineages, and participants may present a poster. If you are interested, you can check the program and register until 1 February via this link!

Deadline for 2022 Netherlands Evolutionary Biology prize nominations
What is the best paper in evolutionary biology published in 2022 by an author affiliated with a Dutch research institution? NLSEB members can nominate a colleague – or themselves – for the Netherlands Evolutionary Biology Prize. There are two more weeks to send in your nominations: deadline is 31 January. The winner receives €500 in recognition of their achievement, plus the opportunity to present their paper in a plenary lecture at the NLSEB 2023 meeting.
• Only NLSEB members can nominate a paper
• Nominated papers must be published online or in print in 2022
• The first/last author of the paper was affiliated with a Dutch research institution
To nominate a paper, please send a PDF of the manuscript and a brief motivation (no more than half a page) by e-mail to prize@nlseb.nl. We are looking forward to receiving your nominations!

NLSEB Junior Board successfully organized the first rotating lab visit!
On December 9th, the NLSEB Junior Board organized the first lab rotation event for evolutionary biologists at GELIFES in Groningen. Many enthusiastic participants listened to fascinating talks of PI and PhD speakers of GELIFES, got behind-the-scenes insights of the facilities, and socialized over lunch and drinks afterwards. A successful start of a series of lab rotations in the future!

NLSEB Junior Board comes to town
First rotating lab visit 9 Dec! Save the date! On December 9th, the Junior Board of NLSEB organizes its first rotating lab visit at Groningen! The rotating lab visit is a fun event/meeting where you can showcase and learn about research in the NLSEB community (i.e. with topics relating to evolution) at different universities around the Netherlands. We kick off this series in Groningen (GELIFES), which harbours many diverse labs with exciting research. For a full afternoon (13.00 - 17.00) we plan to alternate between scientific talks given by senior and junior speakers as well as tours through some of GELIFES research facilities. To further get to know your peers, we also plan for a social gathering in the form of a borrel. More information will soon follow!

NLSEB round table on education in evolutionary biology in Jan 2023
25 January 2023, we organize a round table afternoon on education in evolutionary biology at Utrecht University. The aim will be to identify knowledge gaps in current bachelor courses in evolutionary biology at Dutch universities, and to develop ideas for short shared knowledge clips to fill these gaps. If you are interested, please register via this link before 10 January!
