About Me

My Typical Day
No two days are the same. Some I spend reading and others I am seeing patients and study particiapnts. Other days I am involved in managment and adminstration issues that are not really research but are needed to ensure that things work well. And fianlly, sometimes I am fortunate to travel to other countries for meetings which is very interesting.

What I'd do with the money
Well money is never going to be enough and the more you have the more you want. So I would probably spend a little giving myself a little treat but the bulk would go to charity as I have been living without it and will go on living without it.

Chemistry and Geography. I know that doesn't make sense!!

If you weren't a scientist, what would you be?
A retired athlete and probably quite rich!!

Swimming in the deep sea and diving under the glass bottom boat to get people to take pictures of me.
