Hi all. My Open Science animal is a Meerkat. When I am not being a meerkat, however, I am a third-year, undergraduate Psychology student studying at the University of Newcastle. Currently I am undertaking a placement year in a comparative neuroscience lab, with current project focuses being on both animal welfare assessment and also comparative models of Major Depressive Disorder.

I was drawn to this course as I believe Open Science to be a crucial aspect of the future for psychology and other sciences alike, and hence I would love adopt its practices from as early in my career in science as I can!

Here is my new ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4030-6568
