Evolution Working Group Mission and Members

The Evolution Working Group is an interdisciplinary network of researchers dedicated to the understanding and application of evolutionary processes. Members of the group conduct basic research in evolutionary theory as well as apply evolutionary thinking to address complex problems as diverse as invasive species, developing treatments for complex diseases, understanding social constructs, and increasing scientific literacy. The aim of the group is to improve research, teaching, and outreach through cross-disciplinary collaboration. The group includes faculty and students from a diversity of departments across USF campus in the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering, the College of Public Health, and the Moffitt Cancer Center.
