Mark Bowler, Science Communication Officer at Living Links, will give a presentation on red uakari monkeys, from his field research in Peru.
This will be on Wednesday, 23rd at 5.30pm in the Psychology Common Room (3A94, Cottrell Building).
Mark will be coming over with Emily Messer, and his wife Maribel, and we plan to go to the Meadowpark for a bite/drink afterwards.
Please let me know - by 5pm today - if you'd like to join us so I can book at table.
Thanks, Hannah

Dear all,
Just a reminder about tomorrow's BERG meeting. Claire Watson will be presenting her PhD work on, "Social contagion in common marmosets: implications for culture, cognition and welfare". Claire recently submitted her PhD and will be examined in a couple of month's time, so I'm sure she will appreciate plenty of feedback (and she will probably kill me for saying that...!).
We start at 5.30pm as usual in the Psychology common room (3A94 Cottrell). Drinks and nibbles will be provided.
Hope to see you there.
Christine.

Dear all
I have had a good response to SCAB.
I am driving over and have in my car: Hannah T, Annie Jacobs, Lauren Reid and Sarah Vogel.
Kerstin Wolf is also hoping to go....anyone else planning to drive? Andre - do you have transport/space?
I am also including Susan Richmond, Andrew Bagnall and Kimberly Hahn on the registration list I will send in on Friday. If any of you named decide NOT to come, please let me know asap.
Sue Healy, the organiser , is currently in Melbourne! She says the meeting will start around 10am (so we'd leave Stirling campus at 8.30am) and we'd be back by 7pm. The registration fee of £8/student and £13/staff covers a sandwich lunch and tea/coffee.
The programme will not be available until next week but I will circulate to those who registered.
Best, Hannah

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...
