Dear BERGers,
Hope your summer has been great.
We are pleased to say that the Behaviour and Evolution Research Group (BERG) seminars are
coming back soon. These seminars are held on Wednesdays at 5.30pm in 3A94.
We hope that Jade Hooper (PhD student) will be the local organiser, though given her other
commitments we are open to offers of support!
Meetings will start on Wednesday 18th September, so please add these Wednesday dates to
your diaries, noting there will be no meeting on Wednesday 23rd October as it is mid
semester break, and we shall wind up 11th December (with a Christmas party).
Another date for your diary is the John Damien lecture which will be on Friday 11th
October (late afternoon), and presented by our very own Emeritus Professor Phyllis Lee.
Details will follow.
There is also the BERG presentation morning on 28th August that I informed you of earlier
this week.
The first BERG meeting is on Wednesday 18th September at 5.30pm in 3A94 (Psychology common
room). We shall use this meeting for introductions, including I hope for our new students,
and updates from the summer…please come prepared to share news of any grants awarded,
papers published, exciting conferences attended etc.
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 Jade and we shall update the schedule. If you can provide a title that
also helps! ( h.m.buchanan-smith@stir.ac.uk<mailto:h.m.buchanan-smith@stir.ac.uk>;
