Dear BERGers,
I hope you all had a productive / relaxing time over the Reading break. This Wednesday we will not have a BERG meeting, as there is a BERG related speaker presenting the Psychology Division seminar on Thursday and we would like to encourage everyone to come along, particularly those interested in human-animal interaction.
The speaker will be Dr Jo Williams from the University of Edinburgh, who will be presenting: "Promoting positive interactions between children and animals."
The event will be held in room 3A94 (Psychology common room) at 4pm on Thursday the 3rd of March, and a poster is attached. Please pass this on to any other people who may be interested in attending.
Kind Regards,
Kris

Do you research animal cognition and behaviour? Do you love what you do? Then why not tell visitors at RZSS - Edinburgh Zoo how cool it is?
