Becoming a Visiting Researcher at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Portsmouth
Portsmouth is my home town. My family still live in and around the city and so my visits to Portsmouth are regular. Portsmouth University is also home to the European Xenopus Resource Centre (EXRC) - run by Matt Guille. In addition to holding breeding stock for all European researchers working on Xenopus, the EXRC holds a particular importance for me and my reseasrch as they are interested in improving the quality of life for laboratory kept Xenopus. Matt Guille and I have been discussing research surrounding this for several years, and I have now been given the status of Visiting Researcher in the School of Biological Sciences so that we can pursue this goal further.
My future visits to Portsmouth will now include regular trips to the School of Biological Sciences, and I expext to give a talk on my own research there later on this year.
