[BERG] BERG sign up for Spring!

Dear BERGers With Christine on sabbatical, I am tasked with running BERG again, unless someone else would like to volunteer to lead it - please just let me know! Mind the rush.... The first meeting is on Wednesday 22 February at 5.30pm in 3A94 (Psychology common room), and is mainly a social catch up. I'll do a brief slide presentation on recent adventures in the Himalayas. I have set up a Doodle sign-up, so just fill it out to indicate the week that you would like to present (and add dates to your diary). 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 research paper etc. The sign up is here: http://www.doodle.com/8tmhhnwum3isknnu When you sign up for a slot, please send me a brief title/topic BEFORE 15th February so I can circulate the programme in advance. If you have new students who wish to be on the BERG mailing list, please send them this e-mail.
