[Biopython-dev] Biopython devs at iEvoBio?

[Nick Matzke]

Hi all,

Thanks for the invite David, I just registered for a 
lightning talk at the iEvoBio conference site:

==========
Lightning Talk: Biopython (bio) Geography Module

Abstract: For Google Summer of Code 2009/NESCENT 
Phyloinformatics Summer of Code 2009, I built a Geography 
module for Biopython.  The purpose of the module is to 
search, download, and process biogeographical data from 
GBIF, much as Biopython currently accesses Genbank. 
Application of the tool to a historical biogeography study 
on bivalves will be illustrated.
==========

See everyone there! PS I have family in Portland and used to 
work there so if anyone needs bar suggestions I might be 
able to help...

Cheers,
Nick

"[W]hen people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. 
When people thought the earth was spherical, they were 
wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical 
is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your 
view is wronger than both of them put together."
