Dear BERGers,

 

Happy new year and welcome back! It’s time to start planning our BERG seminars for the Spring semester. Please add the following seminar dates to your diary at the usual time of 5:30pm in the Psychology common room.

 

February: 4^th and 11^th

March: 11^th, 18^th and 25^th

April: 1^st, 8^th and 15^th

 

We already have some great speakers lined up, but have plenty of space for more, so please consider giving a seminar this semester. Presenting at BERG is an excellent way to practice talks, hone presentation skills, get feedback on grant application ideas, or lead discussion of a research paper. You can sign up by following this link to the doodle poll. https://doodle.com/5kc3zpst4bs2aty2

Please add your name and select a date that is vacant, then email me your presentation title (kristin.descovich@stir.ac.uk).

You might also like to host a post-graduate student or colleague from a nearby University. We have some funds to support local travel and dinner for external speakers.

 

Also note the upcoming divisional seminars which are likely to be of interest to BERG members. These are held on Thursdays at 4pm in the Psychology common room.

January 22^nd – Dr Susan Cheyne

January 29^th – Dr Ian Peers

March 5^th – Dr Jo Williams

 

Our BERG meetings are only as good as we make them, so please encourage any students or colleagues interested in behaviour and evolution to come along to a meeting, or sign up to the BERG mailing list at http://lists.stir.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/berg.

 

I look forward to seeing you all at BERG this semester!

Cheers and regards,

Kris
