Dear Biosocial Society members,
I am sending this email to update you on the Biosocial Society news. As many of you know, a new Committee started functions in January. These changes always slow things down a little and it has taken us some time to settle in the new jobs. It seems that we are now settled so please expect more regular news from the Society.
The points I would like to emphasise today are:
1. The Society has a newly designed website with useful information about membership benefits, workshops and publications. Check it out: http://www.biosocsoc.org/index
2. To know more about the Committee members click here: http://www.biosocsoc.org/committee.html
3. The Society has a long tradition in organizing conferences and workshops (see more here http://www.biosocsoc.org/workshops). The next workshop will be on 14-16th September14-16th, Dept of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Bristol, UK. "Applied Evolutionary Anthropology'. Further details will be uploaded on the website soon.
4. The Biosocial Society awards small grants to postgraduate student members of the society. The next deadline is Thursday 15th September (see more here: http://www.biosocsoc.org/bursaries).
5. The Society is actively involved in publishing and disseminating high quality research. See the collection of books (http://www.biosocsoc.org/books), Journal of Biosocial Science (http://www.biosocsoc.org/jbs) and "Society Biology and Human Affairs (online journal http://www.biosocsoc.org/sbha/).
6. The Society regularly posts job adverts to all members.
7. The Society has a Facebook page. "Like" us here http://www.facebook.com/biosocsoc
8. If you wish to advertise your research, research Centre, or a specific project please let me know and I will post it on Facebook. This is a very easy and effective way of disseminating research and I would like to see it used more frequently.
9. Please let the Committee know if you have suggestions to help us improve. We are very happy to hear from you
With my best regards
Inês Varela-Silva
