Dear BERGers, I would like to raise your attention to a nice conference in Prague in September about evolution and human behavior: http://2019.ptnce.pl/. Christine Caldwell will be one of the invited plenary lecturers, and Craig Roberts is the head on the scientific board. The conference is usually small-scale, with friendly atmosphere and plenty of opportunities for networking and sharing ideas. The abstract submission is open until 16 June. We are looking forward to seeing many new faces on our yearly conference. Best wishes, Zsófia
