Plants & Medicines Research, Naming and Data Expert

I'm a heritage and natural world enthusiast specialising particularly in plants of medicinal and economic interest. I've worked in the academic sector for several years, working on herbarium data handling and medicinal plant taxonomy/nomenclature projects, and have been involved in editing of academic texts, data management, and science communications copy intended for lay audiences. I've also been involved in several interpretation projects, preparing public engagement materials for museum/garden displays. I would be very interested in participating in any public engagement or other work being undertaken by projects/institutions in the areas of natural science, conservation, social history or heritage. I can also help with data cleaning, manipulation and management, inventorying/cataloging, and editing and checking spelling, grammar and tone of copy to a native English standard.

Cat Songs: Songs to Sing to your Cat and other Feline Favourites

CS Publishing
Research has shown that singing to your cat is common practice and indicates a normal and healthy human-feline relationship. However, such performances are typically spontaneous, poorly structured, incoherent, or even tuneless! We felt it was time to improve this situation for our long-suffering felines and their families and have compiled a selection of inspirational songs set to popular tunes honouring all that is “Cat”.
