I look forward to seeing you all for our introductory meeting at 5.30pm this evening in the common room. I attach our seminar schedule - which looks very exciting! I am still looking for presenters for 6, 13 and 20 November. 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. Go on - please volunteer!! (see original message below).
