Within the scope of the Brown Bag seminars organized by Koç University Sustainability Office, the concept of “time zero” was discussed this month. In the discussion shaped by the contributions of Assoc. Prof. İsmail Kudret Sağlam (Koç University Faculty of Science, Biodiversity and Evolutionary Genetics Laboratory), Prof. Inge Uytterhoeven (Dean of Koç University College of Social Sciences and Humanities), and KUISCID director Prof. Önder Ergönül, the fields of biology, archaeology, and infectious diseases came together around a common question: What does it actually mean to define a “starting point”?
