Jeremy Thomason I became interested in marine biology when I took up diving whilst I was at art school. I made a quick change of career, and took a Bachelor's degree in marine biology instead of fine art. This in turn lead on to a PhD, several research jobs and finally a lectureship in marine biology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. I currently work on barnacles, marine larvae, small scale hydrodynamics and of course corals and sea anemones. My PhD was on how corals and anemones catch their lunch using arrays of highly venomous and architecturally complex stinging cells and it is interest that has brought me to Aquarius to work on this mission. My role in the mission is to analyse the stinging cells in each species of coral we will be studying. This will help us understand how the corals are catching different types of zooplankton. |
