Our speaker this month is Mike Lin, known to people on this list for his programming expertise. However, his "job" is being a graduate student at MIT, where he does awesome work finding interesting elements in genomes using evolutionary methods. You can read more about his work and browse his code at https://github.com/mlin/PhyloCSF/ The seminar is open to everyone-- just go to http://phyloseminar.org/ and follow the instructions. However, note that the focus of the talk will *not* be OCaml. I'm not even sure if Mike will be mentioning it at all. But if you are interested in biology, I encourage you to attend! Erick ps. While I'm writing the list, I should thank all of the help I got from people on this list getting going with my project, https://github.com/matsen/pplacer I specifically thanked Will M. Farr, Mauricio Fernandez, Stéphane Glondu, Jon D. Harrop, Xavier Leroy, Mike Lin, and Markus Mottl in a recent paper. Happily, I'm a lot less clueless than I was when I was asking some of those old questions.
