MADISON, Wis. - For four days this month, nearly a thousand scientists will make the University of Wisconsin-Madison the world center of evolutionary biology.
The 1999 Joint Meeting of the Society for the Study of Evolution, The American Society of Naturalists, and the Society of Systematic Biologists will be held beginning Tuesday, June 22.
