Science in the Dark:

Taking oral DNA

swabs from bats

Research assistants Scott

and Rich work together to

collect DNA from rare bat

species at an important local

hibernation site.

The data will provide insight

into the importance of the

site as a facilitator of

exchange of genetic material

for species which otherwise

find urban landscapes a

barrier to dispersal.

Doctoral Depictions 2020 Runner-up

The small hours

Each research project is like an

infatuation. You talk about it incessantly

and overwhelm your friends and family

with the details of your progress.

It dwarfs many other dimensions of life

into insignificance and if left unattended

disrupts all normal routines. You feel

guilty when your family discovers that

you have been up all night again.

Doctoral Depictions 2020 Winner

Sonic Texture

Whilst collecting field

recordings (to grow my sonic

library), I take photographs of

the environment I am in. As

of late, I go to local parks to

collect sound textures and

follow the social distancing

rules.

This photo was taken during

a recording session and used

for inspiration to generate

new music.
