BBC Wildlife Magazine – Aug 2007

Whilst studying my undergraduate at the University of Aberdeen, I entered an environmental journalism competition run by BBC Wildlife Magazine.  The challenge was to write an article about a “conservation hero”, so I interviewed Prof. Paul Thompson from the university’s Lighthouse Field Station in a piece called “The Pod-Father” which described our first dolphin encounter together and his views on marine conservation.  I was honoured to win this award, with some lovely feedback from the judges.  See the original media release here.
