About

Evolution Community Resources for Early Career Researchers (ECR^2) is a series of online events hosted by the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE), the American Society of Naturalists (ASN), and the Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB). This series, taking place in July and August 2020, is aimed at re-creating some of the networking and professional development opportunities that are such a valuable part of our in-person Evolution meetings. While this began with a focus on supporting ECRs in a year without a meeting, we believe that many of the events will prove valuable to our members at any career stage.

The planned events feature a seminar and a variety of workshops, panels and discussion groups, and even feature a virtual edition of the popular small-group networking lunches! 

Many events will also be available as non-interactive livestreams in addition to getting recorded for future viewing, neither of which will require society membership to access, allowing the larger evolutionary biology community to use these resources. When applicable, links to view livestreams or recordings will be available on the Schedule page.
