Heather and friend

I graduated in 2004 from the University of Reading with a BSc in Animal Science, after undertaking a research project looking at regional variation in the microhardness and mineralization of vertebrae from brown and rainbow trout.   I spent two years teaching and becoming qualified at an agricultural college in the animal management and vet nursing department.  I went on to do an MSc in Wild Animal Biology with the Institute of Zoology and RVC in 2006/07, where I did my final research project with the Structure and Motion lab looking at the locomotor kinematics of Asian elephants. 

I am now doing a PhD entitled "Locomotor design constraints and musculoskeletal compromises in broiler chickens" supervised by John Hutchinson and Sandra Corr.
