  • Event time: 11:30am

  • Speaker: Bartlomiej Waclaw (Formerly School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Edinburgh)
  • Location: Room 2511,

Event details

In this talk I first finish off the discussion of bacterial conjugation from the previous seminar. I will then move on to simple stochastic models of bacterial populations. I will focus on the time to extinction in a population of a single species.
