Thank you all for answering yesterday's doodle poll.

Turns out all other slots were worse than our original one. So we will stick with Wednesday. Note, that I moved the lab half an hour out, as this will help some folks at the margins (they would only miss the first half hour or so).

This means that the new PhD Lab slot for Autumn is Wednesdays 11:30-13:00.

I will book rooms now and send calendar invites shortly. Our first lab session will be on the 25th of September.

Sadly, the new slot clashes with Katie’s schedule. That’s why we will also schedule a couple of extra sessions (mock talk for annual review; progress on research design for Study 2) for her on alternative dates. I will communicate these closer to the respective dates.

By the way, one of the reasons it is getting harder to find a time slot that works for all is that our PhD lab is growing in size! I am super excited to welcome three new PhD students to the lab.

• Gabrielle “Gabe” Han – g.s.han@stir.ac.uk 
• Gabe is already at Stirling and will have her office in C.X1
• Liz Barker – elizabethhbarker@yahoo.co.uk (until she gets a Stirling e-mail address)
• She will officially join Stirling in October, but I hope she can make the first lab session on the 25th of September
• We have to get a little creative in keeping our two Liz’s apart now. In fact, their names only differ by two letters. Liz Barnes and Liz Barker. I am confident the lab will come up with good handles. :-)
• Stewart Robertson – Stewart.Robertson@fca.org.uk (until he gets a Stirling e-mail address)
• Same as Liz – he will officially join Stirling in October, but I hope she can make the first lab session on the 25th of September
• Most of you will know Stewart as a fellow MSc Behavioural Science graduate
