Hi Jayne, Katie, Kevin, and Liz,
Just a quick note to wish you a successful conference in Dundee. I hope it will be a joyful experience!
I will be arriving Monday evening so won’t be around for the early career workshop. I will make sure to be around for the poster sessions, though.
Unfortunately, my session is in the same time slot as Kevin’s (and I am chairing the session, so can’t sneak out). He gave a mock presentation to me today and Kevin’s in good shape, but I am sure Kevin would appreciate some friendly faces during his talk for emotional support. His session is at 16:15-16:40 in room 2G14.
I am sure we will run into each other at the conference. And I am assuming that you are all attending the conference dinner, too? It’ll be fun. :-)
Best,
Till

Hi everyone,
I have a wee favour to ask. My survey experiment is nearly ready to be launched but I want to make sure I haven't missed any mistakes!
If you have a spare few minutes to have a look through it would be greatly appreciated. Here is the link: https://stir.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/preview/previewId/13f6136c-2885-4dca-878…
Just a heads up that everyone will be randomly allocated a different message upon entering.
Things I want to double check (but not limited to):
* You should only be able to gain access if all three consent conditions are ticked
*
You should only receive questions on driving regularity if you have previously signalled that you drive
*
For questions about psychological distance (how relevant is this issue to you personally, how likely it is to impact developing countries, when the impacts will likely be felt etc) the same treatment message should be displayed at the top of the screen. If the message changes slightly, please let me know. Those who get the control message should not get any questions about this.
If there is anything else that doesn't look quite right, let me know 🙂
Thanks so much!
Best,
Jayne

Dear PhD lab,
Apologies, I meant to send this through a lot sooner.
Shall we settle on a few dates to meet during the summer? I believe monthly meetings (on Teams) would make sense. That would give us three meetings until the beginning of the Autumn term.
Let’s have our first meeting once Simon is back from leave.
How about the following?
Meeting 1: Wednesday, 3rd of July
Meeting 2: Wednesday, 31st of July
Meeting 3: Wednesday, 28th of August
@Katie: Which one of these would you like to present in?
I will also schedule 1:1 meetings with all Stirling-based PhD students in June. Please let me know your availability.
Best,
Till

Dear all,
I am pleased to introduce Francesca Pietrangeli (CC'd here), a PhD student from the University of Tuscia, Italy. Francesca will be visiting our Division in August/September 2024 and again in March 2025.
Her research focuses on integrating urban and regional indicators to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of local and place-based policies aimed at improving the local environment and quality of life.
Francesca will have a desk in the School and is keen to connect with as many of us as possible. She is interested in participating in Economics Division and Behavioural Science seminars, activities, and workshops, as well as broader School-wide events.
Francesca is looking for accommodation for August and September, too. If you know of any opportunities, please reach out to both Francesca and me directly.
Best regards,
Mirko

Dear Econ and Behavioural Science folks!
Tim Cason from Purdue University—one of the keynote speakers at our 31 May workshop—will visit the Division a few days before the workshop. During his visit, he will be available for meetings and research discussions.
Tim is a leading expert in experimental economics, resource, and environmental economics. He has published in top journals, including those in the 'top 5'. What's important is that he is a very nice guy.
Tim will arrive on 29 May from the USA. If jet lag permits, he will be available that day and will be around on 30 May. He will be given a desk in office room 3B51, so feel free to come and say hi when you are around.
More information about Tim can be found on his website: [insert website link]. https://sites.google.com/view/tim-cason/research
I would invite PhD supervisors to encourage PhD students to meet one-on-one or in a small group with Tim.
Let me know if you want to meet and I will arrange.
Best wishes,
Mirko

Dear colleagues,
This is just a reminder that there are very few spots left for the workshop on Designing Markets for A Sustainable Future on Friday 31 May. If you are interested, please register soon, as we will be closing registrations on Sunday. The workshop is scheduled to take place in the Court Room.
You can find the registration button, the full agenda and more information on the following Eventbrite page:

Hi all,
I am sorry I had to perform a premature French Exit. I got a call that I had to attend a family emergency. Things turned out not to be quite as bad as they sounded on the phone but it was the right move after all.
@Jasmine, Jayne and Liz: I wanted to reiterate that you absolutely smashed it today! You presented your research to a room packed with 80+ seasoned academics and practitioners and left everyone very impressed. Leo and I were smiling and nodding at each other throughout, and everyone I talked to had very flattering things to say about you. Congratulations!
I also got an e-mail from Oliver Mallett and he had the following to say:
I was very impressed with the PhD lab and explained what I see as great practice to Ines as our PGR Director
Also, apparently Iain Docherty (Director of IAS) was in the room and he ran into Oliver afterwards. Oliver reports:
I spoke to Iain Docherty earlier and he was very happy and impressed by today's session
@Leo: What a great event, congratulations! The room was buzzing (We would have needed those air conditioners even if the weather had been bad, given the positive energy today). I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical that having 20+ flash talks in one day would work, but it did! I am really looking forward to organising more events like these (and being able to be more directly involved and of help next time) and to really harness the energy and momentum you are bringing to Stirling with you. Feeling buzzy!
Best,
Till

See you all tomorrow.
