Profile Articles Activity I am a zoologist, born in France, who has had the privilege to work with animals such as primates in Africa, reptiles in America and seals and penguins in

Antarctica. I then moved up the alphabet by moving to Britain, eventually settling in Oxford where I worked with small mammals, the hardest of them all. My interests, usually within an

evolutionary framework, have ranged from animal social behaviour to parasite manipulation but, in the last 17 years, welfare (of animals), design (of experiments), reproducibility (of

results) and education (in relevant fields of biomedical sciences). EXPERIENCE EDUCATION *   University of Oxford, Merton College, D.Phil *   British Antarctic Survey (Cambridge) and
