Society for the Study of Evolution announces New Latin American Interest Group
 
EVOLAT is an interest group, started by SSE members, intended to promote Latin American research on evolution within the SSE.
 
EVOLAT offers the opportunity for researchers and their ideas to come together to reinforce and advance the study of evolution in this region.  
 
A Latin American mixer is in the works for EVOLUTION 2014 in Raleigh. 
 
EVOLAT will work to:
1. Bring together scientists with interests in advancing research and teaching of evolution across Latin American institutions
2. Encourage participation of Latin American researchers by recruiting professionals and students as new members of the SSE.
3. Promote involvement of Latin American researchers in the activities of the SSE.
4. Represent a portal for Latin American scientists to promote scientific interactions and foster professional collaborations with scientists from North America and around the world.
5. Organize workshops and/or mini-courses, either during Evolution meetings or in Latin America.
