Jørn Harald Hurum, Associate Professor - Norwegian Center for Paleontology

This week, Andreas Hejnol will be visiting and we will read a perspective paper relevant to his group's reserach, namely "Resolving Difficult Phylogenetic Questions: Why More Sequences Are Not Enough" pulished in PLoSBiology in 2011 by Philippe et al. For background on metazoan phylogenies see Dunn et al. 2014

This Friday 30th of January we discuss a paper on why ungulates that have more friends also have larger brains. "Gregariousness increases brain size in ungulates", by Pérez-Barbería and Gordon (2005). NOTE: Change of time - journal club starts at 11:15!

 

Helge Maakestad gives the Seminar in Algebra and Algebraic Geometry:

Generalized enveloping algebras, connections and characteristic classes

Pasquale Dario Serpico, LAPTh, Univ. de Savoy, CNRS

 

Despite its remarkable success, the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics does not address key facts revealed by cosmological and astrophysical observations. Until now, no signs of new physics have been discovered in laboratory experiments, leaving unclear what is the path chosen by Nature for the physics beyond the SM (BSM). I will discuss in this talk how indirect signals from Dark Matter (DM) might help us in this challenging "theoretical selection problem", with implications on foundational aspects of BSM physics. I will illustrate this point with possible DM interpretations of recent anomalies in multimessenger observations of energetic radiation of Galactic and extragalactic origin.
