[BERG] BERG meetings - Autumn semester

Dear BERGers Semester will be upon us again soon, so please get the BERG meetings in your diaries - from 5.30pm on Wednesday on the following dates: 17, 24 Sept, 1,8,15,22 Oct, 5,12,19,26 Nov, 3, 10 Dec Obviously the meetings are as good as we make them, so we are looking for people to volunteer for BERG meeting slots for this semester. The first meeting is on Wednesday 17th September at 5.30pm in 3A94 (Psychology common room). We shall use this meeting for introductions and updates from the summer...please come prepared to share news of any grants awarded, papers published, exciting conferences attended etc. I shall give a Pecha Kucha of my holidays in the Rwenzori mountains, Uganda (6 min, 40 secs) - anyone else wishing to share photos, please let me know. I have set up a Doodle sign-up, so just fill it out one date to indicate the week that you would like to present. ONE person per week, please. 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 research paper etc. You might also like to invite a post-grad student or colleague from a nearby University - we have some funds to pay for local travel/dinner for external speakers. The sign up is here: ttp://doodle.com/d6gu3tbsui72ydwz<http://doodle.com/d6gu3tbsui72ydwz> When you sign up for a slot, please send me a brief title BEFORE Friday 12h September so I can circulate the programme in advance. If you have new students who might wish to be on the BERG mailing list, please send them this e-mail.
