After a BSc in Zoology at Imperial College (back when it was part of the University of London), I studied the behavioural ecology of avian parental care for my PhD at the University of Bristol. I was then a post-doctoral researcher shared at various times between the University of Cambridge (in Rufus Johnstone‘s group), the Institute of Zoology in London (working with Guy Cowlishaw and colleages), and the University of Exeter (working with Matthew Evans). In 2006, I moved to the School of Veterinary Science in the University of Bristol, as a lecturer on the BSc Animal Behaviour and Welfare Science course. In 2012, I shifted to the Bristol’s School of Biological Sciences, where, alongside my research, I have been involved with teaching at various different levels, and I have been a senior lecturer (UK equivalent to Associate Professor) since 2014.
