New job!

Thanks to the LOVELY EJ I've got my first real (sort of) job in science!

It's only a part time one (hence the 'sort of'), and doesn't really start until January. I am going to be doing wee bit's up until then though, and it's a foot in the door with a relatively large employer locally, and will hopefully lead to much more :)

So what is it? Well it's basically a research job, studying the effects of the new local wind farm on birds. It's the first study in the world to have begun before the wind farm was built, and so will be the first to have definitive results on the subject.

Today I went to have an induction (health and safety stuff) on the site, first day is next Wednesday :D
