      Not currently. But I used to work on disease in farm animals, especially cattle, pigs and sheep. After my undergraduate degree I did a PhD (further study on just one subject) on a disease in sheep. Part of my study included spending time on sheep farms, including two lambing seasons. It was great!

      Do you want to study animals?

      My work is based on the way animals swim so I often have to study animals. I’m going to be looking at dolphins and whales soon, maybe even going to an aquarium to video dolphins and try to copy the way they swim!
