Tell us about your work with seabirds.
My research focus on seabird distributions, movements and foraging ecology with a particular interest in how those traits are impacted by anthropogenic activities.
What advice would you offer to individuals aspiring to pursue a career as seabird scientists?
Try to gain as much as hands-on experience as possible by volunteering in monitoring programs or ringing session for example: You will meet people, develop skills and learn tons about seabirds.
