SPRG 2022: 2nd - 4th September

by Hannah Buchanan-Smith

Dear all If you are a primatologist here in Scotland, the Scottish Primate Research Group meeting will be held from 2nd - 4th September 2022 (after several postponements), at the Burn, near Edzell. The SPRG webpage is here: https://scottishprimate.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/ If you did not receive the message below but feel you should be part of the SPRG, please e-mail Manon (ms397(a)st-andrews.ac.uk) to request you are added. Thanks, Hannah ________________________________ Hi Everyone, We're very sorry to announce that once again we've had to postpone the SPRG meeting at The Burn due to the ongoing pandemic and not enough interest/people comfortable with attending the scheduled April meeting. We thank everyone who took the time to fill out the survey which helped us make this difficult decision. The good news is that we've managed to book new dates at The Burn for 2nd - 4th September 2022. We really hope we won't have to postpone again, and we ask that in the meantime you all spread the word to colleagues and lab members. Due to the long time since our last SPRG meeting, we are afraid the e-mail list is not really up to date. If you would like to change your e-mail address or add new lab members, please do so by e-mailing Manon (ms397(a)st-andrews.ac.uk). Thank you for your understanding and patience, and we hope to see you later this year. Please forward on details of SPRG and the Burn to anyone that you think might be interested - it would be great to get a good turnout for our September reunion! Best wishes, Emma, Manon, and Lara SPRG website: https://scottishprimate.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscottishp…> ________________________________ The University achieved an overall 5 stars in the QS World University Rankings 2020 UK Sports University of the Year 2020 (Times Higher Good University Guide) The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159. ________________________________ The University achieved an overall 5 stars in the QS World University Rankings 2020 UK Sports University of the Year 2020 (Times Higher Good University Guide) The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.

If you would like to come along then see below: The Eventbrite site is now live for the webinar – it is free but just so we can manage numbers people need to register to get the link to attend.
