Tomorrow's BERG meeting: Wednesday 16 March
by Christine Anna Caldwell 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Dear all, Just a reminder about tomorrow's BERG meeting. Claire Watson will be presenting her PhD work on, "Social contagion in common marmosets: implications for culture, cognition and welfare". Claire recently submitted her PhD and will be examined in a couple of month's time, so I'm sure she will appreciate plenty of feedback (and she will probably kill me for saying that...!). We start at 5.30pm as usual in the Psychology common room (3A94 Cottrell). Drinks and nibbles will be provided. Hope to see you there. Christine.

Dear all I have had a good response to SCAB. I am driving over and have in my car: Hannah T, Annie Jacobs, Lauren Reid and Sarah Vogel. Kerstin Wolf is also hoping to go....anyone else planning to drive? Andre - do you have transport/space? I am also including Susan Richmond, Andrew Bagnall and Kimberly Hahn on the registration list I will send in on Friday. If any of you named decide NOT to come, please let me know asap. Sue Healy, the organiser , is currently in Melbourne! She says the meeting will start around 10am (so we'd leave Stirling campus at 8.30am) and we'd be back by 7pm. The registration fee of £8/student and £13/staff covers a sandwich lunch and tea/coffee. The programme will not be available until next week but I will circulate to those who registered.
