Dear BERGers,
Please see the attached current BERG schedule for the Spring. Note that on several weeks
there is no BERG meeting because a BERG related speaker will be presenting the Psychology
division seminar on the Thursday at 4pm.
We still need a few more speakers! 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 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. You can sign up by
following this link to the doodle poll.

Please add your name and select a date that is vacant, then email your presentation title
as soon as possible to me at kristin.descovich(a)stir.ac.uk.
This Thursday at 4pm we are very lucky to have Dr Susan Cheyne from the University of
Oxford and Outrop giving the Psychology seminar on "Primates, peat-lands, cats and
conservation: Saving the Bornean peat swamp forests". Susan does amazing work in
Indonesia with primates and a myriad of other species, so please do come along and listen.
We will head afterwards to The Meadowpark for dinner. If you would like to join us, please
email me by Wed night.
Our BERG meetings are only as good as we make them, so 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 on the 4th of February!
Cheers and regards,
Kris
