Woods Hole Workshop in Molecular Evolution? Data needed?

[alion24]

Hi all,

Has anyone attended the Woods Hole Workshop on Molecular Evolution? http://www.mbl.edu/education/courses/workshop-on-molecular-evolution/

I am curious if the program is more biased on training for major areas of molecular evolution/learning how to use popular software, or if its intended to help with data analysis of already-collected data sets. I am trying to decide if I should attend this year (when I am designing my experiments for thesis/have just taken pop gen and quals, and everything is fresh) or next summer (when I have more data). I can see learning what are the possibilities for data analysis being very helpful if it is AHEAD of collecting data, but I also don't want to waste a valuable opportunity to get help analyzing existing data—if that's the true scope/purpose of the program.

Thanks so much!!
