My name is Emma, and I live in the beautiful Peak District National Park, UK.

​

My goal is to entertain and inform my lovely site users of interesting and curious animal scientific news from all over the world. Along the way, there will also be a few other scientific news stories which have caught my attention.

​

A little about myself. I’m a mature student who restarted my university studies in my 40s. I previously worked for many years within ecological companies as a Personal Assistant and Researcher. My passions are for mammals, rewilding, both our British Isles as well as in other countries, and I have a penchant for giant tortoises and octopuses. I have a master’s in Wildlife Conservation from the University of Salford and a masters in Science Communication from the University of the West of England (UWE). During my Wildlife Conservation masters, I discovered my love of writing science news for the public in a way that hopefully takes the mystery out of what can sometimes be some rather dry scientific research.  

​

My rovering reporters are my beautiful dogs, who have been a constant source of love and support. It is my love of them that has given me the desire to pursue my goals.
