Ent Club Meetings
We meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm in room 101
of Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, 26 Oxford
Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138.
Meetings are free and open to the public.
Each meeting features a
speaker. Occasionally a meeting entails other club business as well.
Please join us for dinner prior to the meeting.
See the meeting announcement for location and further information.
The Harvard parking office will not ticket you if you put
the current meeting's notice on the dashboard of your car.
We will have copies of the meeting notice available at each meeting.
Suggestions for speakers and topics are welcome; send them to
entclub@entclub.org.
Speakers are encouraged to submit material related to their talks to
this site: papers, slides, images, and data sets.
Several people have asked whether an advance schedule could be made
available, as we did in the early 1990's.
Unfortunately advance notice is not always available as speakers
sometimes have to juggled up to the last few weeks before a meeting.
I (the webmaster) post information on upcoming meetings as I receive
it from the officers, which is ordinarily soon after they know it.
