How the hell did you find that? I dont even have it on my computer or website and havent for a good few yonks!
Environmental Scientist...general terminlogy there as Im not a specialist at the moment. Technically not finished until June but hey its so close...
...but the line of work I love and have been doing anyway is general research assistant stuff. Last summer I was down on Arne peninsula and some other places digging pitfall traps (small cups with water in em) to catch insects, before taking them back to identify the species to order level. Other stuff has seen me processing marine sediment samples from the Medina estuary, and "fishsitting" some experimental fish for research for the home office. Tis a mix of stuff really!
Strengths seem to be in species identification and ecology. I think this comes from gardening and working at maidenheads, have had a lot of time to practise learning the common and scientific names and spellings for species
Also my techy background has resulted in impressing the lecturers with various aerial maps of the study sites I did in my spare time using a GPS receiver, google earth, and photoshop. Had an offer to do a Masters in Spatial Information Science but at the moment Id rather just finish my degree and just enjoy a year or two of being an RA for the uni and other agencies. RAs get to do the fun stuff in the field and lab, and not the thinking bit
