- Mario Dos Reis, Queen Mary University of London & Emma Sherratt, University of Adelaide (Workshop & seminars: Leveraging morphological and genomic data to elucidate evolutionary patterns)
- Scott Edwards, Harvard University (and others) (Symposium: Genome Diversity - Insights from long-read sequencing)
- Barbara Holland & Małgorzata O'Reilly, University of Tasmania (Workshop: Stochastic modelling meets evolutionary biology)
- Brian Tilston Smith, American Museum of Natural History (Seminar: The structuring of avian genomes across time and space)
- Bruce Walsh, University of Arizona (Seminar: Leveraging museum specimens to ask ecological questions in the era of genomics and workshop: Detecting selection)

If you have suggestions for workshops and visitors over the coming year we encourage you to apply for our Training Support or Visiting Scientist funding.
Our Synthesis Group and Ignition Grant funding programs will also continue in 2023.
If you’re planning to try new genomic technologies next year, please get in touch with Ecogenomics and Bioinformatics Lab (EBL) Manager Niccy Aitken with any experimental and/or training questions and requirements.
And don’t forget to contact CBA Knowledge Broker Paula Doyle if you are interested in discussing ways to create linkages with policy makers and managers.
