I am a research scientist studying the visual behaviour of fish with the hope of learning more about how their brains work. I have earned an undergraduate degree at Dalhousie University in Canada and a PhD at the University of Queensland in Australia. I currently hold a Marie Curie Research fellowship in the Spatial Cognition Group at the University of Oxford.

Typically, researchers have websites to connect with other researchers, collaborators and potential students. Scientific websites contain information about research interests, lab group members, and publications. All that information can be found on the main pages of this site.

This website also includes a blog. One of my personal goals is to ensure the research I do is accessible to the general public and to show people what a scientist actually does. I hope this will inspire children to think like a scientist and to appreciate the natural world around them. For that reason, I have created this blog. I will use this to post about the interesting and mundane activities involved in research with the hope of providing a snapshot of what a scientist does. This blog is intended for non-specialist audiences, although I am sure many scientists will relate to the trials and tribulations described.
