Welcome to Rosie's blog!

As you're at this page, presumably you're a friend (or enemy) and you know who I am and what I do already...

For those of you a little confused about what I'm up to these days (a common problem, ask my Mum), I'm about to start the third year of my PhD in chemical oceanography. The terrifying working title of this misguided endeavour is 'Marine Algal Iodine Metabolism' but that has far too many long words, so I'm considering 'Seaweed Studies, Cold places and How to Spin on your Office Chair' as an alternative. Follow the link to my research group webpages if you want to know more.

Over the past year or so I've been extremely lucky in having some great travel opportunities. I've put a link to photos from my 2004 China trip and hopefully more will be going up soon...

All being well I'm off South to Antarctica again in November for a summer of 24 hour daylight. The main reason for creating this blog is to keep you posted on what I'm up to then, so I only have to write the 'what I did on my holidays' stuff once, and can keep emails for personal conversations.

Ocassionally I live in Norwich. And not with my sisters anymore, that was just too much madness.
