Extra BERG meeting on Wed 10th May: Claire Watson

by Christine Caldwell

Dear all, As you probably know, semester is winding down now and our BERG meetings will soon be doing the same (definitely still on tonight though!). However, in case anyone wanted to put it in their calendars I thought I would let you know that we will be holding an extra meeting on Wednesday 10th May. We will have Dr Claire Watson visiting us from the University of Kyoto, where she has been doing postdoctoral work since finishing her PhD here in Stirling. Claire is planning to talk to us about various research projects - old and new - that she has been working on, mostly on the topic of social learning in nonhuman primates. You can find Claire's website at: http://www.cicasp.pri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/people/claire-f-i-watson We will send out reminders closer to the time of course. Anyway, I hope that people will be able to make it for Claire's talk, and I hope to see lots of you tonight for Lesley's as well! Christine.

Wednesday 8th March: Christoph Völter

by Christine Caldwell

Dear all, For this week's BERG meeting we have Christoph Völter coming over from St Andrews. Christoph is currently covering Amanda Seed's duties (both as Living Links research coordinator, and in St Andrews) while she is on maternity leave, so it's a great opportunity to get him over here to talk to us! http://www.eva.mpg.de/psycho/staff/christoph-voelter/index.html?Fsize=0 The title of his talk is: "Explaining away: how great apes learn causal structures by discounting alternatives". If you would be interested in coming for a drink and/or quick dinner with Christoph after the meeting then please just let me know. He will need to dash off reasonably early to get back to St Andrews so it definitely won't be a late one. As usual the meeting will begin at 5.30pm in the Psychology Common Room, and drinks and nibbles will be provided. Hope to see you there! Christine.
