Meet 3.3 m/11 ft #InspectorClouseau

A quick #introduction:

I'm Joanna, a mature undergrad in my final year studying #Zoology at the University of Nottingham, UK. I plan to study MSc Data Science next.

Current interests are in Ecoinformatics, #ecology, conservation and #DataScience.

Here to connect with other lifelong learners with a passion for exploring the natural world.

Photo of me smiling outdoors in winter clothing holding a thick branch that has been gnawed off by a beaver. You can tell because I'm showing the pointed end that has the characteristic pencil-shape to it and there are some teeth marks visible.
