Tell us about your work with seabirds.
My research investigates the health consequences of exposure to physical pollutants (e.g., plastic) in seabirds.
What advice would you offer to individuals aspiring to pursue a career as seabird scientists?
Surround yourself with great scientists! Those that challenge you, inspire you, and can learn lots from, but equally be supporting. Lots of seabird colonies are facing pressures and that can be confronting to witness and I wouldn't be where I am without my awesome lab group!
