BERG on Wednesday 15th April
Dear BERGers We are going back to Zoom this week - which works really well! This week's meeting will be divided into two sections, but just one link (below). Those of you who knew animal welfare and enrichment expert Graham Law<https://twitter.com/UofGlasgow/status/1248882898268303361?s=20>, who sadly died last week, are invited to join between 17.10-17.15hrs. We shall raise a glass to Graham at 17.15, and exchange a few stories of his brilliance, kindness and humour. The full BERG meeting will start at 17.30hrs so please join from 17.25hrs with microphones muted. We shall discuss the effect of lockdown on animals - wild and captive.
