Dear BERGers
Never thought I'd say this, but looking at the BERG Facebook page, and hearing recent reports and photos from the SPRG meeting at the Burn, I am sad to be in California missing out on so much amazing stuff back home!

Hi BERGers,
Just a reminder that as it is reading week there is no BERG meeting today.
I look forward to seeing you next week for Prof Jim Anderson's talk on cooperative humans, choosy capuchins, and discerning dogs.
All the best,

Dear all,
Some of you might be interested in attending this forthcoming meeting in Durham (18th - 20th April), which has just opened for registration. ASAB student members get free registration: https://www.dur.ac.uk/zoo.psy/registration/

Evidence of Animal Minds
An Interdisciplinary Symposium
As contribution to Durham IAS's 2015-16 exploration of the theme of Evidence, this three-day workshop will examine the problem of evidence in accounting for the phenomenon of 'animal minds' - the existence and character of (broadly conceived) mental phenomena in non-human animals. This controversial question offers a rich case for exploring the meanings of 'evidence' from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
The meeting will assemble philosophers of mind and of knowledge, neuroscientists, experimental psychologists and ethologists, evolutionary biologists and biological anthropologists, social anthropologists and historians of science, as well as humanities scholars with expertise in visual culture.
