Educational and career history

BSc Zoology Swansea University 1973. Employed at SAMS since 1975, initially on marine conservation-related survey work on rocky shores. Member of the Deep Water Ecology Group from 1983-1999. Joined Ecology & Behaviour Group 1989 (part time) and worked on sense organ development in fish - neuromasts, taste buds and olfactory organs.
Returned to rocky shore ecology in 2003 to present, with occasional forays into deep sea invertebrate taxonomy and fish behaviour.
