Dear all,
Please find attached our programme of BERG meetings for this semester. The schedule has filled up nicely, thanks to some heroic volunteers. However we still have a slot free on Wed 9 March, so if anyone else is interested in presenting this semester, and could manage that date, just let me know. Thanks!
Christine.

Hi all,
Just a quick email to encourage people to sign up for a BERG slot this semester. Before I start pointing the finger at particular people, can I suggest that any of our BERG PhD students who have not presented before (or have not presented in the past year) seriously consider signing up for one of the remaining slots? And remember that you don't necessarily need to have completed a study to give a BERG talk. We often have sessions where people present their proposed research, or some pilot data, both of which provide good opportunities for feedback on research design.
Thanks! Sign up is here: http://www.doodle.com/bxsrvv5tbhm8skvs

Hi all,
Just forwarding a flyer for an upcoming event at the Macrobert (also Glasgow and Edinburgh dates) that may appeal to some BERG folk.
Janis Claxton was also behind "Enclosure 44" at Edinburgh Zoo that caused quite a stir a couple of summers ago - see:
http://www.janisclaxton.com/works/enclosure-44-humans
I'm sure Humanimalia will also be an interesting show!

Subject: HUMANIMALIA - COMING SOON TO TRAMWAY...
You might be thinking 'What on earth is Humanimalia?...
There are a few helpful definitions at the bottom of this email but to really find out for yourself there's only one thing to do - catch Janis Claxton Dance's latest production when it opens in Tramway on Friday 4th March.
If you can't make the Glasgow performances check out the tour list below. You won't want to miss this ground breaking new work.
It's evolving as you read this...

Subject: UFAW Animal Welfare Student Scholarship - 28th February 2011 Deadline
Dear Colleague,
The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare is now inviting applications for the 2011 UFAW Animal Welfare Student Scholarships. The aim of this scheme is to enable students to pursue their interests in animal welfare and to provide them with the opportunity to conduct relevant research or other (e.g. educational) projects. 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.
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. Successful applicants will be awarded up to £1600 to cover subsistence and project expenses.
Application forms and further information are available from the ‘Grants & Awards’ page of the UFAW website: www.ufaw.org.uk<http://www.ufaw.org.uk>, or please email: scioff(a)ufaw.org.uk<mailto:scioff@ufaw.org.uk>.
Please note that the closing date for applications is: 28th February 2011.
With best wishes
