Dear BERGers, As Hannah already mentioned, Deborah is poorly. Deborah has been struggling with severe post-viral illness for some time, and now on top of this has fractured her spine and can hardly move. She is in hospital since the 30th August where they are looking at where things are going and what to do (although the next assessment is not until 12 weeks). I saw Deborah is hospital today. She is set up with mobile internet and is hoping to meet the BERG meeting today. Best wishes, Magdalena ________________________________ From: BERG &lt;berg-bounces(a)lists.stir.ac.uk&gt; on behalf of Hannah Buchanan-Smith &lt;h.m.buchanan-smith(a)stir.ac.uk&gt; Sent: 22 September 2021 08:03 To: berg Mailing List &lt;berg(a)lists.stir.ac.uk&gt; Subject: [BERG] TODAY BERG meeting on Wild Cognition: Wednesday 22nd September, 15-17.00hrs - and a Kudoboard Dear BERGers REMINDER of our BERG seminar on Wild Cognition today - Wednesday 22nd September.
