Dear all,
The BERG meetings start up again this week, and we have got Kelly Cobey talking to us about hormonal contraceptive use and relationship dynamics. For those of you that have not had a chance to meet Kelly yet, she is a PhD student from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, but she has been in Stirling for a little while now doing some work with Craig Roberts.
We have got a few other talks lined up for this semester, but there are still some gaps in the schedule (27 Feb, 6 March, 20 March & 27 March) so please let me know if you have something that you might be interested in presenting, or someone that you might be interested in inviting over to talk to us.
Thanks!
Christine.

Good evening, all.
Next week, we have a visiting speaker for BERG. Alex Jones is a PhD student at Bangor University studying facial cues to health (amongst other things) with Professor Rob Ward. He will be giving a talk titled "He's not that into you: Facial cosmetics do not reflect men's preferences".
We will be going for dinner afterward in Stirling at the Junk Rooms. If you'd like to join us, please let me know so I can book a table.
Cheers,
Kristen

There are many more newspaper acticles out there! And this one is fairly old but represents the debate that is ongoing. The other is an academic paper discussing management options.
