Dear PhD Lab,
First, well done on the flash talks yesterday! Really good standard of presentations across the board, despite the unusual flash format and the super-short prep time you had for this.
Second, I had to make a few changes to our agenda
* I had to merge two demonstration sessions to one (@Kevin: Are you able to do the LaTeX demonstration with Jasmine on the 19th of March?)
* To avoid a clash with the BSMP003 Thesis Development Session II on 26th of March, our lab will begin an hour later than usual. I will secure a room for this and update the agenda once I have one.

Third, the slot in two weeks (12th of February) is still unfilled. Does anyone want it to discuss any aspects of their research? If not, we can make it a communal one.
Fourth, enjoy your weekend. :-)
Best,
Till

Dear PhD Lab,
Thank you for the productive session today. There is a recording on Teams for those who couldn’t make it in person.
Three follow ups:
(1) Here is the updated PhD Lab agenda for the Spring term. We keep populating it as we move along.

@Jasmine/Liz: We’ve kept the next two labs free for you in case you want to have a mock talk before your annual reviews. Could you let me know which date you want?
* 05/02: Advantage: Gives you more time to incorporate any feedback you receive
* 12/02: Advantage: Gives you more time to prepare your mock talk
You can either both go for the same time slot (back to back) or choose one each.
@Jasmine: I’ve also scheduled you into two demonstrations (Academic CV on 19/03 and LaTeX – joint with Kevin – on 02/04). Please let me know if those provisional dates work for you. We can reschedule if necessary.
(2) Here is the link to the Econometrics Academy with lots of helpful resources we mention today:
<https://sites.google.com/site/econometricsacademy/econometrics-models>
sites.google.com<https://sites.google.com/site/econometricsacademy/econometrics-models>
[X]<https://sites.google.com/site/econometricsacademy/econometrics-models>
(3) We discussed whether to have regular PhD lab sport outings as a social event. Badminton and Pickleball were discussed. Next Wednesday before our lab there is a Pickleball for Wellbeing tryout at Stirling’s sports hall (I’ve sent the link through earlier today). Worth checking out. I think I’ll go.
Best,
Till

Dear PhD Lab,
Bit of a curve ball by Carl below, but nothing this PhD Lab shouldn’t be able to handle. :-)
I would say: All of you who can make Thursday work should go for it. Our division consists of nice people and I trust the feedback will be friendly and constructive. Given the super short format, it lends itself to ideas that aren’t fully cooked yet, rather than projects that have lots of results already. Great forum to collect high-level feedback and feedforward.
So:
* 1st Year Students: Great opportunity to just introduce yourself to the whole faculty and let them know what you intend to do
* 2nd Year Students: You may use this opportunity to give a 5-minute pitch of your Chapter 2 ideas.
@All students: Please get in touch with your supervisory team and let them know (a) if you want to go for it and (b) discuss which project to present.
P.S. I am typing this on an airplane, so this e-mail won’t be sending out until after my arrival (past midnight).
Best,
Till
Begin forwarded message:
Hello,
Hector is unable to present or attend at the seminar this coming Thursday (30th Jan).
So, I have decided to repurpose it as our inaugural "PhD Economics & Behavioural Science Flash Talks" event.
PhD students will each have 5 minutes to introduce and explain their current research, focusing on one research paper. This can refer to a paper at any stage of progress. This serves several purposes:
1.
It allows you to introduce yourself and your research to everybody else in the Division.
2.
It serves as good practice for job market interviews, where in Economics it is common at the first stage to be asked to summarise your research paper in just a few minutes — hence it is probably best to talk about the fullest paper you have.
3.
The time constraint and preparation will focus your own mind on what the crux is of your current research.
4.
At conferences, you often meet people who ask you about your research in the corridors or breakout areas, who will only want to listen for a few minutes.
5.
Some conferences have flash talk sessions, as well as poster sessions, at which you need to be able to describe your research succinctly.
The rules for the talks are as follows:
1.
5 slides maximum, including the title slide if you want. I recommend using slides mostly for graphics (tables/figures), rather than plain text.
2.
5 minutes speaking time maximum. Somebody will moderate, and the talk will strictly end after 5 mins.
3.
No interruptions from the audience.
4.
To enable a fast flow from one talk to the next, please upload your slides onto the PC via memory stick before we start (i.e., before 12.30am).
Because I am pressed for time with organising this, I decided a schedule of talks already, using a random number generator.
Kevin, Jayne, and Katie: because you presented something in the seminar series last semester and we already heard about your research, I have included you as "maybe" participants at the end of schedule — no worries if you decide just to watch and listen.

Dear PhD Lab,
Thank you for letting me know your availability this Spring term. The votes are (mostly) in. I haven't heard from Katie, Liz Barnes and Johanne, but we are already down to a very short list of candidates.
Wednesday 12:00-13:30
* Gabe Han (optional, due to new Economics Lab)
* Jasmine Yang
* Jayne Brown
* Johanne Soefeldt
* Katie O'Neill
* Kevin Kim (optional, due to new Economics Lab)
* Liz Barker
* Liz Barnes
* Stewart Robertson
Wednesday 14:00-15:30
* Gabe Han (optional, due to new Economics Lab)
* Jasmine Yang
* Jayne Brown
* Johanne Soefeldt
* Katie O'Neill
* Kevin Kim (optional, due to new Economics Lab)
* Liz Barker
* Liz Barnes
* Stewart Robertson
Tuesday 15:00-16:30
* Gabe Han (optional, due to new Economics Lab)
* Jasmine Yang
* Jayne Brown
* Johanne Soefeldt
* Katie O'Neill
* Kevin Kim (optional, due to new Economics Lab)
* Liz Barker (only until 16:00?)
* Liz Barnes
* Stewart Robertson
@Liz Barnes, Katie, Johanne: Could you let me know how these three slots look for you?
Given the data we already have, I see two options.
Either: Settle on one of the two Wednesday slots
* These don’t work for Gabe and Kevin, but they would be able to join the new Economics Lab
* @Gabe/Kevin: Once you join the Economics Lab, do you still intend to attend the Behavioural Science Lab?
Or: We alternate between the Tuesday slot and one of the Wednesday slots (similar to last term)
Best,
Till

Morning Folks,
I was trying to find something to teach me how to do the University Ethics Application and Liz Barnes kindly pointed me in the right direction last week (to the EDM portal but the training, instructions and documentation was not obvious but eventually found what I was looking for here<https://www.stir.ac.uk/internal-students/ethics-review-manager-erm/>).
Whilst looking for training I came across the following resources which is free for University of Stirling students and staff - you just register using the token below:
How can I access the new online resource?
Research Ethics in Practice is a new self-paced online course and is accessed on the Epigeum web-based platform:
1. Visit Epigeum's online courses website<https://courses.epigeum.com/> to register
2. Go to the top right person symbol and register by completing the registration form
3. You must use the Stirling email domain @student.stir.ac.uk
4. Enter the token cea1734f in the relevant field of the registration form
5. You will be sent an account activation email. Click on the link to complete registration and activate your account. If you do not receive the email check your SPAM/junk mail. You can also resend the activation email.
6. Once you have activated your account, log in using your username and password. You will be shown the Epigeum programme on the My Courses screen. Click on View Courses to launch it.
7.
If you require further assistance, please see the help page<https://courses.epigeum.com/help> or fill in the Epigeum customer support form<https://www.epigeum.com/epigeum-technical-support/>
Looks like there is other research material there too - I'm going to do the ethics short modules - will let you know if it's any good!
Cheers,
Stewart

Thanks Till.
To Till or anyone else that can help: BSMP007 does not have up to date module dates and times on Canvas as far as I can see. I can only see past dates for Jan 2024.
Q1: Does anyone else have this problem?

Q3: Should I audit by attending the module face to face or watch the recording later? What is best?
I don’t seem to have a Canvas invite for BSMP005.
