Hello all,
great to be back for a new semester, looking forward to the awesome talks!
Would anyone be up for another movie night? If so, we have another Kubrick
movie lined up: Dr Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love
the bomb.
It is a very dark satire about the cold war essentially.
Please let me know if you are interested and I'll book a room for next
Wednesday, the 8th! :)
Kind regards,
Zsuzsa

Dear BERGers,
We hope your winter holiday has been cozy and relaxing!
We are pleased to say that the Behaviour and Evolution Research Group
(BERG) seminars are starting again soon. These seminars are held on
Wednesdays at 5:30pm in 3A94.
Sarah Kraemer (PhD student in Psychology - me!) and Gema Martin-Ordas
(lecturer in Psychology) will be taking over the responsibilities of
organising BERG from Jade Hooper and Hannah Buchanan-Smith. Let's hear a
virtual round of applause for those two for a successful fall semester of
speakers! Thank you Hannah and Jade for that kind e-mail passing the baton
to us.
Meetings will start on *Wednesday 15**th** January*, so please add these
Wednesday dates to your diaries. There will be no meeting on the *19th of
February* for mid-semester break, and the last meeting will be on the *1st
of April*.
The first BERG returning meeting is on *Wednesday 15**th January *at
5:30pm in 3A94 (Psychology common room). One of our fall semester speakers
had been tentatively re-scheduled for this date, and if this plan changes
we will use this first meeting as a catching-up from the holidays, complete
with snacks and bubbly to bolster our moods and strengthen our resolves for
2020!
As for the rest of the meetings, SIGN-UPS ARE NOW OPEN! The new schedule
can be found at:
https://stir.app.box.com/file/588066861916
*The success of BERG depends upon you! **Please consider signing up for a
seminar slot. **Presenting at BERG is an excellent way to practice talks,
hone your presentation skills, get feedback on grant application ideas,
lead a discussion of a controversial/interesting research paper etc.* *You
can also suggest external speakers who we might invite* *(local speakers
only please).*
Doodle software is no longer free so please look at the schedule in the
Box link – and then email me and Gema and we shall update the schedule.
If you can provide a title that also helps! ( *s.b.kraemer(a)stir.ac.uk
<s.b.kraemer(a)stir.ac.uk>*k>*; *gema.martin-ordas(a)stir.ac.uk
<gema.martin-ordas(a)stir.ac.uk>* )
