Dear friends and colleagues
I am delighted to announce that Professor Tetsuro Matsuzawa will be giving a presentation at the University of Stirling.
Professor Matsuzawa is famous for his research on chimpanzee cognition, combining a long-term study of chimpanzees in the wild and testing them in captivity (the Ai project).
His findings demonstrate the sophisticated cognitive abilities of chimpanzees that have had important welfare consequences (e.g. adding to the evidence underpinning changes to their use in research and testing).

Date - Thursday 16th March
Time - 4pm
Location - 2A73 in the Cottrell Building, University of Stirling
Title - SAGA: An attempt to promote the welfare of chimpanzees and other nonhuman primates in Japan
SAGA stands for Support for African/Asian Great Apes and their website is here: http://www.saga-jp.org/indexe.html
I attach a poster that I hope you might print out and put up, or please feel free to send this message around to colleagues.

Dear all,
Please find the program for this semester's BERG meetings attached. We still have one meeting slot available (next week, Wednesday Feb 8th), so if anyone is interested in giving a talk or hosting a discussion on a particular paper or topic please let me know.
This week, in a slight change to our previously advertised topic, I will be giving a talk entitled:
"Are automatic imitation effects influenced by experience of synchronous action in children?"
As usual, we will be in the Psychology Common Room (3A94) from 5:30pm, with drinks and nibbles!
I hope to see you all then!
Best,
Eoin ?

Dear BERGers,
I am writing with some good news: BERG meetings will be resuming next week!
On Wednesday (18th) we will be having informal introductions and a catch up in the Psychology Common Room (3A94) from 5:30pm, with drinks and nibbles provided.

It is worth noting that there will be no BERG meeting on the 25th of January as the UFAW Animal Welfare Student Scholars' Meeting will be taking place on that date (at Stirling University). This will be a great opportunity for BERG members to learn about a wide range of student research that is funded by the wonderful UFAW (who also fund our BERG meetings), so please do come along to this meeting if you can. Attendance is free, but you must register your intention to attend by emailing Dr. Stephen Wickens (wickens(a)ufaw.org.uk). For more information please go to this website:

All are welcome to our BERG meetings, and I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
Best,
Eoin?
