Events of interest to BERGers

by Hannah Buchanan-Smith

It is fantastic that Donna is organising our BERG seminars next semester – please do sign up for a session! These sessions are a great way to get feedback on ideas, and they depend on us all to make them work…. There are other events of special interest to BERGers - Jo White from Progressive ideas, will speak on the topic of Human Behaviour Change for Animal Welfare Thursday 21st September, 4pm in room 3A94 in Cottrell building. http://www.progressiveideas.co.uk/jo-white/ I shall circulate her abstract nearer the time, but please add to your diary if you are interested. Also – we have a lecture Tamed: With Professor Alice Roberts Tuesday 17 Oct 2017, 7.30pm http://macrobertartscentre.org/event/tame-with-alice-roberts-/ You will need to buy your own ticket. Join Professor Alice Roberts as she delves into archaeology, history and genetics to reveal the amazing stories of the species that became our allies. £16.50 / £14.50 Conc Book Tickets<http://macrobertartscentre.org/event/tame-with-alice-roberts-/#book_tickets> How do you tame wildness? For hundreds of thousands of years our ancestors existed in a world where they depended on wild plants and animals. They were hunter-gatherers, consummate survival experts, but taking the world as they found it. Then a revolution happened: we started to domesticate wild species and they became crucial to our own survival and success. Join Alice Roberts as she delves into archaeology, history and genetics to reveal the amazing stories of the species that became our allies. From dogs, cattle and horses to wheat, potatoes and apples, find out how taming all these species has left its mark on them - and us. Hannah M.

Sean Roberts seminar on Monday 22nd May

by Christine Caldwell

??Dear all, We have got a visiting researcher from the University of Bristol, Sean Roberts, coming to the Division on 22nd May (a week on Monday), and he has offered to give a talk while he is here, so I have attached a poster with the details. Sean is interested in how the nature of communication shapes the cultural evolution of languages, so I think his talk will appeal to anyone with interests in language and communication, and/or social learning and cultural evolution. Please do come along if you are interested (and feel free to spread the word further if you can think of others who might like to attend). The talk will be at noon on Monday 22nd in the Psychology common room (3A94). Apologies for any cross-posting. Christine. [X]

This week's BERG meeting: Wed 10 May - Claire Watson

by Christine Caldwell

Hi all, Just a reminder that we have Claire Watson giving a talk at BERG this Wednesday (poster attached). If anyone would like to come for a drink or dinner after the meeting, the plan is to head into town to the big Wetherspoon's pub (The Crossed Peels at the top of Friar's Street) - a fairly unsophisticated venue admittedly, but quite a practical option under the circumstances! There should be plenty of room for anyone who wants to come along, and there's no need to commit to staying for dinner if you just want a quick drink. Also, we will be well-placed for anyone making the (now traditional) dash for the train station in time for the last proper train to Edinburgh before the bus replacement services take over. The meeting starts at 5.30pm as per usual in the Psychology common room (3A94). Drinks and nibbles will be provided. Hope to see you there! Christine.
