Re: [BERG] BERG meetings

Dear BERGers, I'm pleased to let you know that Autumn semester BERG meetings will begin next week, Wednesday 14th September, at 5:30pm in the Psychology Common Room (3A94), with an informal introduction and catch up session. I will circulate the program shortly, but there are plenty of places still available! BERG meetings are great for practicing conference presentations, receiving feedback on data/methods/grant applications, or leading discussions on interesting topics/articles. If you'd like to sign up or invite someone to speak at one the slots, please go to the following doodle poll and choose a date: http://doodle.com/poll/s6qagssqe6zfimgr These meetings are generously sponsored by the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW). If you are not already a member, please do consider joining (http://www.ufaw.org.uk/), to help make real advances to animal welfare throughout the world. Looking forward to seeing you next week! Best wishes, Hayley ________________________________ From: BERG &lt;berg-bounces(a)lists.stir.ac.uk&gt; on behalf of Hannah Buchanan-Smith &lt;h.m.buchanan-smith(a)stir.ac.uk&gt; Sent: 01 September 2016 16:36 To: berg Mailing List Subject: [BERG] BERG meetings Dear BERGers I am pleased to say that Hayley Ash will be organising the Behaviour and Evolution Research Group (BERG) seminars this coming semester. These seminars are held on Wednesdays at 5.30pm in 3A94. Meetings will start on Wednesday 14th September, so please add these Wednesday dates to your diaries, noting there will be no meeting on Wed 26th October as it is mid semester break, and we shall wind up early-mid December The first meeting is on Wednesday 14th 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. Hayley will circulate a Doodle poll to sign up. 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). If you have new students who might wish to be on the BERG mailing list, please send them this e-mail. To sign up to the BERG mailing list new folk must complete the form available here: http://lists.stir.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/berg You can also use this link to unsubscribe. We'll send round the Doodle poll later, but please add the dates to your dairy. We'd appreciate those who gave conference talks recently to take the early slots!
