Why I do what I do
I am really interested in how our natural world is responding to climate change, and how we can best adapt to those changes. Because I am concerned about climate change, I spend a lot of time on public communication and engagement as I hope that if people understand they might be more willing to act.
Something interesting about me
If I wasn't a scientist I would be a volunteer in a sloth sanctuary.
