My year with Animal Behaviour MSc St Andrews has gone in so quickly! I recently had the pleasure of sharing some of my final results at the School of Biology poster session 🐧 Thanks Sophie Edwards and Mike Webster for being awesome supervisors and Edinburgh Zoo for supporting behavioural research!

Always graceful. Always grateful. Always remembered. RIP Queen Elizabeth II. You’re already missed #QueenElizabeth

Life update: I no longer work at University of St Andrews. Today was my last day (4 years PhD, nearly 4 years Associate Lecturer). In a week I’ll be starting my new job as a Senior Information Analyst at Public Health Scotland and I cannot wait!
