I have a few quick Burn announcements to share: * I’m pleased to reveal that this year we will be hosting (and hearing evening talks from) special guests Professors Gilly Forrester, University of Sussex, and Adriana Hernandez-Aguilar, University of Barcelona, Jane Goodall Institute Spain & Senegal. * If you are planning to give a talk, please send me your abstract no later than the 15th of April. * If you want to register, you can still do so. At this point, if you are external (or if you wish to invite external colleagues), please get in touch as a short waiting list is accumulating that I will work through once the internal deadline has passed (31st of March). Thanks!

I’m emailing regarding our next Scottish Primate Research Group meeting, which will take place from 31st May - 2nd of June 2024 at ‘The Burn’ house. We can arrive from 4:00pm on Friday and leave after lunch on Sunday. For those of you who are new to SPRG, please find more information on our homepage (https://scottishprimate.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/). Our annual Burn meeting is a chance for all members to get together in the beautiful surroundings of The Burn, to discuss research that is going on within our group, and of course to walk, chat, play games, eat, drink, and be merry. You can find more details about the venue on their website (http://theburn.goodenough.ac.uk/). There will be a series of talks given throughout the weekend and one of the speakers could be you! These presentations do not need to be particularly formal talks - The Burn is a great place to discuss project plans or analyses in the works. *** Reply early to avoid disappointment *** Places are limited, so don't miss your chance. In the first instance, bookings are restricted to members and SPRG associates, which is everyone affiliated with one of the core SPRG universities, and bookings are available on a first come first served basis. However, should places be left unclaimed by the end of March, invitations will be opened to colleagues from further afield. The costs of staying at The Burn are heavily subsidised by the Charitable Trust, and so remain very reasonable. The price of attending the entire meeting, which includes room and meals, will be £198. Most rooms have only two or three beds. If you have a preference for whom you’d like to share your room, please let us know. We can offer some single bedrooms. However, because single occupancy rooms are limited in number, we will offer these on a first come first served basis and we cannot guarantee that we can offer many of those. The Burn is changing with the times, and this year we will have the opportunity to pay in advance. When the participant list is finalized, I will email out a link that will allow you to pay the full fees or a deposit. To register for the meeting, please send an email to drew.altschul@ed.ac.uk<mailto:drew.altschul@ed.ac.uk> until the 31st of March or as soon as possible as places are limited. Please use the subject header ‘SPRG Burn Meeting 2024’ and include the following details: Your name: With whom you’d like to share your room: (if any) If you’d rather have a single room: (yes/no) Affiliation and career stage: (e.g., St Andrews, PhD student) Dietary requirements: (if any) If you are interested in giving a talk: (yes/no) If you would like to give a presentation, please email me a Word file with the title, authors, affiliation(s), and a short abstract (150-300 words) by the 10th of April (or as soon as possible since presentation slots are limited). *** Dates and deadlines in a nutshell *** Registration deadline: 31st of March Abstract deadline: 15th of April Burn meeting: 31st May - 2nd of June I very much hope to see many of you at the next Burn meeting!
