Hi Suzanne,
I have a study I'd like to present at the BFDG in Brum next April. A
provisional title would be 'Impaired cognitive processing in dieters: Does
serotonergic function play a role?'
Look forward to hearing from you soon
Mike

Location
Birmingham is easy to reach from most directions. The University is less than 2
miles SW of the City Centre on the A38, Bristol Road. The main line station at
New Street is only 90 minutes away from London (in theory!) and there is a
cross city line with trains from New Street every 15 minutes during the day,
stopping at the University station.
Conference facilities
I have booked a house called Hornton Grange on the conference park which has
excellent facilities (all room en suite and have tellies!) More info can be
found at:
