[BERG] Informal UFAW Conference 'hublet' for BERG (20-21 June)

[Clare Andrews]

Dear BERGers,

Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) are holding their annual conference<https://www.ufaw.org.uk/ufaw-events/ufaw-online-animal-welfare-conference-2023> online this year. To make things a bit more social, I'm organising an informal 'hublet' (AKA watch party) in the Psychology Common Room 20 June and 21 June for those registered to attend the conference to tune in together.

The idea is that we join together in real life to watch the talks together and have the sorts of informal discussions that we might at an in-real-life conference. If you want to join in (PGRs and Masters students welcome too!), please first register for the meeting here<https://www.ufaw.org.uk/ufaw-events/ufaw-online-animal-welfare-conference-2023-registration> (UFAW is a charity; conference registration is £30.00 for students/unwaged). Then join us IRL in the common room on 20th June (from 1015) / 21 June (from 0800) to 'watch-party' together for as many of the sessions as you wish.


UFAW's conference has two great Keynote speakers<https://www.ufaw.org.uk/ufaw-events/ufaw-online-animal-welfare-conference-2023-speakers> (below) plus a wide variety of research talks and speed talks looking at many aspects of animal welfare and Human-Animal Interaction in species from chickens to cats to fish to Komodo Dragons!


Dr Beth Ventura (University of Lincoln, UK)
Title: Animal welfare: The elephant in the room is us

Professor Lars Chittka (Queen Mary, University of London, UK)
Title: Bee sentience and its welfare implications



Plus a special shout out for Stirling's own Sarah Weir (PhD student) and Lynsey McDevitt (former MSc student) who will have a virtual poster presentation at the meeting too.



Look forward to seeing many of you for the UFAW watch-party (or virtually at the meeting),



Clare
