Dear all Tomorrow is our first BERG meeting - with a talk from Eoin O'Sullivan entitled "Examining the mechanisms of social contagion: A study of behavioural and emotional contagion in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus sp.)". 5.30pm in 3A94 (Psychology common room) as usual. Drinks and nibbles as usual. Still places to sign up - please! I have set up a Doodle sign-up, so just fill 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: http://doodle.com/d6gu3tbsui72ydwz<%20http:/doodle.com/d6gu3tbsui72ydwz&… When you sign up for a slot, please send me a brief title so I can circulate the programme in advance.
