Upperclassmen are offering their hard-earned MMW paper skills to students of MMW 2
Here are the dates we will be available for the first paper:

Europe Hall Lounge
Monday, Jan 30 and Tuesday, Jan 31
7 - 10pm

**Upperclassmen who didn’t get a chance to sign up, we would be very grateful to have your help!

Come hang out on the ERC Green and play Ultimate Frisbee this Friday @ 4:30
Feel free to bring your roomies, friends, and anyone who looks like they want to play, too.
Don’t worry if you don’t know how to play- we’ve got Natalie and she’s a pro!

Also, we’re thinking about heading over to Pat & Oscar’s or maybe Coti’s afterwards…
See you there : )

paraphrase: “loss of a complex trait is often irreversible”
“genetic coding data indicates complex trait studied did not arise multiple times, contrary to conclusion which would be reached based on statistical analysis of living species with said trait” (that sounds a lot like complex traits must be inherited from ancestors to me… )

quote: “The study contradicts earlier studies of complex trait evolution, which have tended to favor multiple reappearances of complex traits after these organs were lost in ancestral species.”
