Life Beyond the Beaker

I've been at the Scottish Association for Marine science in Oban since Septemember and time is going quickly...as is the light! It was great starting at SAMs with the Arctic cruise as it meant that I had already met lots of people which made settling in much easier (thanks Emily and Marie)! Since moving to Scotland I have been living with my friend Ali Rose in Fort William which has been great fun, but now it's time to move to Oban as the 2 hour commute everyday is getting very tiring! It's such a beautiful place to work, I am very lucky. Especially as at SAMs there are a group of fun people who like climbing, mountain biking (I have found a love for this sport), running and snorkelling! So I feel like I am seeing Scotland in all it's glory.  View over Dunstaffnage bay looking up towards Loch Etive where we go sampling  Loch Etive - this is where I do weekly trips out on the SAMs boat Seol Mara  We are currently working with a collaberator call...
