The Scientists

Ellen Williams | PhD Student, Nottingham Trent University

I am looking at whether elephants in zoos have BFFs, and if they do what made them choose them!

Cedric Tan | Postdoctoral, University of Oxford

I am a conservation biologist studying the Malaysian clouded leopard and I used to watch chickens and flies mate for my PhD.

Rupert Marshall | Lecturer, Aberystwyth University

I listen to birds in noisy towns to find out how they sing in the din, and how we can make our towns much quieter?

Ines Goncalves | Postdoctoral, University of Bristol

I study interactions between animals, like parental care and mate choice but also conflict between individuals or groups, to understand why animals behave the way they do and how their behaviour affects others.

Carrie Ijichi | Lecturer, Hartpury University Centre

I discover how animal personality affects the way animals interact with us and how they tell us when they’re stressed out.
