Here is an opportunity for funding for undergraduate and MSc students. We have had success in the past, so worth considering.... All details in attached. Best, Hannah -------------------------------------------- Dear LINK, You will be pleased to hear that applications are now being invited for this year’s UFAW Animal Welfare Student Scholarships awards. As a LINK university your students are eligible to apply for this scholarship, the closing date for applications for which is: 28th February 2014.

Students will usually be undertaking courses in the agricultural, biological, psychological, veterinary or zoological sciences. However, we would also welcome applications from students from other disciplines and who are interested in carrying out a project in animal welfare. MSc students are also welcome to apply. Projects must be relevant to improving the welfare of farm, laboratory, companion, zoo, or free-living wild animals whose welfare is compromised by human factors, and may be carried out within the UK or overseas (the project undertaken may be part of the students course). Successful applicants will be awarded up to UK £1600 to cover subsistence and project expenses. Please visit the following UFAW website for further information or to download an application form: http://www.ufaw.org.uk/vacationScholarshipawards.php.

This week's BERG meeting: Wednesday 9 October

by Christine Caldwell

Hello all, This week we have Lara Wood coming over to give us a talk. Lara has recently started as the new postdoc/research coordinator at Living Links in Edinburgh, having finished a PhD at Durham earlier this year. Lara is going to be telling us about some of her PhD work on social learning in her talk: "Who shall I copy? Model-based biases in children and chimpanzees' social learning". If anyone would like to join us for some food after the talk, please let me know. We'll probably just go to the Macrobert to keep it convenient for everyone. The meeting will start as per usual at 5.30pm in the Psychology common room (3A94), with drinks and nibbles. Christine.
