Well it has been 8 months since the last post, and I have now almost finished my degree! Just concluding my dissertation today for hand in possibly Monday, if not Tuesday. I do not know if it is purely because I check the environmental / sciencey news more often now, but it seems like 2 polar bears have died in captivity in close succession. First Knut the polar bear in Berlin zoo (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12939434) died from a brain swelling leading to drowning; and then Mercedes in Edinburgh zoo (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-13116179) who was put down "due to health problems".
It just seems a bit weird as I saw knut when he was a cub in summer 2007, and I've seen mercedes multiple times at Edinburgh zoo before she was moved to the highland park.
On a happier note, summer weather is finally rearing its beautiful head!
