Several current final year students undertook their final year project research over the summer with Operation Wallacea, 2nd years, you can now find out more about this opportunity.
3rd year Zoologist Dan Ward says:
“Operation Wallacea (www.opwall.com ) are coming to give a talk about undergraduate research and dissertation expedition trips over Summer 2013. They’re a network of academics with conservation in mind!
If you’ve ever dreamed of heading out into the Amazon, seeing the elephants in South Africa, watching the lemurs in Madagascar or going somewhere equally as exciting, it’s definitely worth coming to see this talk.
Second years in particular, you have the oppurtunity to jump start your dissertation work and carry out a project on some fantastic wildlife: numerous different primate species (New World monkeys, Macaques, Lemurs), elephants, coral reefs, fish ecologies, many different species of birds, caimans, crocodiles, river dolphins and many more!
The talk will be held on Thursday 15th November in Building 44, room 1061, and is open to all years, so mark the date in your diaries and make sure you don’t miss out!
