Seminar Summary - One of the fundamental goals of evolutionary biology is to quantify patterns of genetic diversity between populations and study the processes that shape them. However, the development of key statistical methods in population genetics lags behind the generation of datasets that require them for analysis. In particular, methods for studying population history, structure, admixture, demography, and selection in continuous space are still lacking, leading to a gap in our ability to answer basic questions in evolutionary biology. This talk will celebrate Dr. Bradburd's promotion to tenure (woohoo!) and present several vignettes on how geography can be incorporated into population genetics to better understand the processes generating the diversity of life.
