You are a Marine Biologist Luke? So is my brother – he has not long come back from Dubai overseeing their conservation work, and is just writing up a report on shark numbers for the Australian govt.

Hi Ruth! Luke’s degree is in psychology, while I studied international relations – but I actually studied marine biology in first year. It was a great subject and sometimes I wish I’d carried on with it. Your brother’s work is the sort of thing that I would have been really into.
