Dear BERGers
It’s been another great year for BERG, with three new appointments. We look forward to welcoming *Pawel Fedurek* <https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/weDYCqx5z4UKZlKTZrCr3> and *Anthony Lee* <https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/UCu3Crk5A4CPEoPizNVJZ> in January, and *Sharon Kessler* <https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/NUzuCv25G4fpxKpfzitB5> in June, 2019.
We’ve had a cracking autumn BERG seminar series ably organised by Gemma Mackintosh, with Deborah Bruce taking the reins for the spring semester. These meetings are such important opportunities for feedback and for networking, and so we offer *big thanks **to all our speakers*, *and to the organisers*.
Finally, the University’s Top Ten of most shared 2018 articles – as measured by the Altmetric score of attention – has just been released, and two BERGers feature.
