Dear BERGers, This Wednesday, 1st April, we have the wonderful Sam Clark from Blair Drummond Safari Park presenting on: "Advantages of training sealions in a zoo environment". Additionally, several other keepers from Blair Drummond will be joining us to discuss potential research projects that will be available at the park. No commitment - just come and learn about what might be available as potential research projects. As usual, we will meet in room 3A94 (Psychology common room) at 5:30pm, with drinks and nibbles. For details on upcoming BERG seminars please visit: www.stir.ac.uk/natural-sciences/research/seminars/psychology/berg-seminars<http://www.stir.ac.uk/natural-sciences/research/seminars/psychology/berg-seminars>. I hope to see you all on Wednesday night!
