sub-Arctic molecular ecology

Bendi á vinnufund sem haldinn verður í HA á mánudag og þriðjudag. Þarna verður skrafað um ýmislegt tengt örveruvistfræði Íslands. Ýmis spennandi vistkerfi verða skoðuð og rædd útfrá örveruvistfræðilegu sjónarhorni. Einnig verður rætt um sameindalíffræðilega nálgun í vistfræðirannsóknum almennt og nokkrar nýjungar ræddar. Þetta verður bæði skemmtilegt og fræðandi. Allir velkomnir.
