Currently Busy...

• On 9 and 10 June I fly out to Tobermory on the Isle of Mull to do some filming with The Discovery Channel (Canada). We will be filming on board a Sea Life Surveys vessel. Sea Life Surveys are an award winning organisation that operate valuable marine wildlife research and cruises around the Hebridean Islands. Check back for updates on this exciting collaboration. Here's hoping a basking shark might drop by!

Concentrating primarily on collecting final data for my PhD from behavioural studies of dogfish in the aquarium and writing up my work with the intention of submitting my thesis by the end of September 2008.

• Organising and preparing for the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in London (30th June – 3rd July). I am delighted to be taking part in the Royal Society’s largest annual event which attracts around 6000 visitors and worldwide press coverage.

• Investigating potential job opportunities.

• Pool training sessions in preparation for climbing the freediving qualification ladder.

• And when I get the time and the swell – surfing!
