My Work:

It’s my job to take care of the reptile collection at the National History museum, preserving, categorising and building it for future generations.

The specimens in my care are a valuable resource for scientists studying things like biodiversity, evolution, anatomy and extinct species, so I talk with researchers all over the world who want to study them.

One of the more unusual projects I am working on right now involves a desert lizard called the Thorny Devil, which is covered in special spines that collect dew and channel it to the lizard’s mouth.

I am helping architects study this clever system to see if we can design something similar for buildings in places with little rainfall.
