Dear Econ PhD students, We are back organising research seminars after a long paused due to Covid disruptions. As I see it, this should be part of your economics training. Among many things, seminars teach you how researchers go about structuring and communicating their papers and academic research. Can I please ask you to join us on Friday at 2 pm in C3Y2 for Dr Bouwe Dijkstra's talk on Biodiversity Credits? On top of this, do not fee shy about meeting our speakers and talk about your research. They are always eager to learn and listen to young PhD students and their ideas. Maybe a couple of you can meet Bouwe for a coffee? Many thanks, Mirko ________________________________ From: Econ &lt;econ-bounces(a)lists.stir.ac.uk&gt; on behalf of Hector Gutierrez Rufrancos &lt;hector.rufrancos(a)stir.ac.uk&gt; Sent: 17 April 2023 13:37 To: econ Mailing List &lt;econ(a)lists.stir.ac.uk&gt; Subject: [Econ] Reminder: Bouwe Dijkstra's Visit This Friday Dear All, This is a polite reminder we have a research seminar on Environmental Economics this Friday at 2PM in C3Y2.
