Oh to be able to go back to university and do a doctorate in ecology!

I'd be fascinated to go back to university and redo my first degree in ecology, to see how much the thinking has changed. One of my lecturers, David Bellamy, didn't believe human activities were contributing to climate change.....but that was a wee while ago!

Better sooner rather than later or we'll never stand the pace of the field trips, let alone Freshers' Week!
