If you're interested in working in forestry or forest-based research, or just fancy listening to talks about our forests, consider coming along to this great event this Friday at 11:30 in ZB19.
Three recent graduates are coming to give talks on what they've been up to since leaving University. This is a unique opportunity to find out more about potential career paths into working for private forestry companies, and the work they do on a daily basis - something especially pertinent to our current fourth years!

After a one week break, the 2019 SBS seminars continue with Dr Alison Johnston from the University of Cambridge:
"Find out how we deal with messy citizen science data, see beautiful visualizations of migration, and understand how we can make better conservation decisions with information on species abundance."

Congratulations to Graeme Paton, our Head of School, for his 25 year long service award from the University of Aberdeen! During his student days here he was a Hall Warden, and then embarked on a PhD in Environmental Toxicology and Remediation. Since then, he has been cited over 3,300 times, authored over 100 publications, and co-founded Remedios Ltd., an environmental technology company. As Head of School, his role is to guide the School of Biological Sciences forward in a su...stainable and inclusive manner, to ensure that the ongoing teaching and research remains world-class. Of course, he still finds time to show the MSc students how to put their backs into soil sampling! It’s safe to say that the SBS community is all the richer for having Graeme at its head– so once again, thank you for 25 years of service to the University!
