Summary

Following an Open University short science course in palaeontology, which I undertook to progress my long-standing interest in the subject, I commenced volunteering as a fossil preparator at the museum in 2006.

This was followed by a 9 month paid project to prepare dinosaur material from the collections for research purposes.

In 2011 I was appointed full time, and In August 2017 was promoted to senior fossil preparator, based in the conservation centre laboratory where I work in the area dedicated to the preparation of fossils for scientific research or display purposes.

My role involves the removal of the surrounding rock (matrix) from specimens in order to reveal their morphological details. The techniques employed are determined by the type of matrix, and the size, composition and condition of the fossil material. Mechanical preparation incorporates a variety of hand tools, ranging from fine steel pins used under microscopy to power driven cutters and pneumatic chisels. For some types of material, chemical preparation involving the use of acids is employed. I have developed training programmes based around these processes and techniques, which I have delivered in museums and research institutes in the UK and internationally.

I am also involved in various strands of the museum's educational and media activities, covering aspects of fieldwork, fossil recovery and specimen preparation and conservation and have published a number of scientific and technical papers on these subjects. I've broadcast in various media, including live TV, news bulletins, Blue Peter and the Channel 5 documentary series 'Natural History Museum: World of Wonder. It was also my great privilege to meet and work with Sir David Attenborough on the filming of 'Natural History Museum Alive 3D'.

In December 2014 I helped to mount the museum's new Stegosaur specimen for public exhibition in the Earth Gallery and in 2017 I conserved and remounted the type specimen of Mantellisaurus atherfieldensis, an iguanodont dinosaur, in the museum's Hintze Hall.

My interest in palaeontology is very broad based and my main focus lies in the reptiles of the Mesozoic era. I am an active and founding member of a research group , the 'Oxford Clay Working Group’ and regularly undertake fieldwork in the Callovian stage deposits of Peterborough, UK.
