The University of Waterloo Ecology Group
(UWEG) was founded in 2010
with the purpose of fostering communication and collaboration between
researchers within the general field of ecological science at the
University of Waterloo (UW), Canada. UWEG is a student-run, informal
association, and our diverse membership includes students and faculty
in both the terrestrial and aquatic sciences from various departments and faculties
at UW.
We meet bi-weekly for the presentation and
discussion of original data as well as topics of general ecological interest. These
meetings offer an excellent opportunity to learn about the research of
peers, practice conference presentations, and share scientific ideas.
Oral presentations are typically 30-40 minutes in duration with 10-20
minutes of questions and discussion.
A journal club is run on alternating weeks. UWEG
members belong to a mailing list which organizers use to send out reminders of meetings and
other information of interest, such as conferences, meetings, seminars
and job postings.
The UWEG Co-chairs organize the meetings, manage the
mailing list and generate the fall-winter speaker line-up; speakers are
determined on a voluntary basis. If you have any questions, or if you
or your research group would like to join UWEG, please contact either
of the co-chairs
