| About |
I graduated from the University of Dundee in 2006 with a BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology but after a successful research expedition with the university's Natural History Society I decided against a career experimenting with drugs and embraced my passion for the natural world as a vocation and not just a hobby. I subsequently completed an MSc in Animal Behaviour & Welfare at Queen's University, Belfast investigating manual laterality in 3 species of langur (Trachypithecus auratus, Trachypithecus francoisi, Trachypithecus vetulus) at Belfast Zoo before taking a year out to gain further research experience studying social interactions in chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in South Africa's Soutpansberg Mountains.
