I am a professional scientist, researcher and Guide-Lecturer with the University of Cambridge and an award winning Blue Badge Guide, for London and a Green Badge Guide for the City of London and City of Oxford as well as a City of Bath Honorary Mayor's Guide. As a palaeontologist, I am an expert on fossils and prehistoric life from the first animals to appear on our planet to the evolution of early humans. I have published research on the origin of marine animals 480 million years to the Jurassic world. After degrees in Geology and Palaeobiology I gained my PhD from the University of London and went on to pursue an academic career working first as a research fellow in France, Germany and Japan and then as a Senior Lecturer in Malaysia and Western Australia. I have a passion for archaeology, history, architecture and history of art. I give lectures that encompass these subjects looking at the interface between the arts and sciences.
