Dear BERGers I am excited to let you know about a summer seminar on Monday, 29th July at 4.30pm in 2A43 in the Cottrell Building, Stirling. Dr David Sinn from the University of Texas will talk on "Individual differences in behavioural development: fundamental patterns and applied relevance". David will be working with Alex Weiss in Edinburgh. He has published extensively on personality from different perspectives and in a diversity of species (octopus, squid, lizard, Tasmanian devil, dog). The seminar will be followed by drinks and nibbles and then we plan to go out for early dinner afterwards – will send details nearer the time. We might like to take this opportunity to get together to practice conference talks – would anyone like to present earlier on the afternoon of 29th July, and get feedback on their talks? Please let me know before noon on Monday 15th July so I can send around a schedule. Best, Hannah Hannah M.
