The Hennig Society has a long tradition of supporting workshops promoting the theory and practise of phylogenetic systematics around the world.

Ohio State University, Columbus Ohio; July 21-26, 2008
      The Ohio State University, with generous financial support from the Willi Hennig Society, will conduct a workshop on phylogenetic methods. The purpose is to provide further instruction and experience to students who already have some familiarity with phylogenetic analysis. The format is a series of lectures and laboratory sessions that will give students the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the logic of the phylogenetic method, parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches, tree search strategies, measures of support, DNA alignment, morphological character coding, weighting, analysis of multiple and large data sets, consensus and character hypothesis testing.
     Lecturers are expected to include James M. Carpenter (Growth of modern systematics, Coding morphological characters), James S. Farris (Political history of phylogenetics), Pablo A. Goloboff (Optimization, Tree search, Consensus methods, Clade support, Large data sets, Weighting), Mari Källersjö (Alignment and subsequent analysis of molecular data), Laura S. Kubatko (Logic and operation of Likelihood and Bayesian approaches), John W. Wenzel (Nontraditional characters, Diagnosing problematic results), and Ward C. Wheeler (Dynamic optimization). The software used for the course will include TNT, POY, RaxML, MrBayes (all distributed with the course packet) and Clustal.
    Participation is limited to 20 students. Cost for the workshop, including one week of lodging, is $1200, but each student will receive a $600 fellowship. Thus the student will be responsible for only a workshop cost of $600, the cost of transportation to and from the Ohio State campus, and meals. Lodging will be provided adjacent to campus, consisting of two-bedroom apartments with kitchenette.
