      Yes, I do! I think it’s very important that the public know what scientists are doing (especially when their taxes help pay for the research!). I’ve shared my findings with the public by:

      – Publishing my work in scientific journals, which are available online
      – Speaking to the press… my crayfish have been in newspapers like The Herald and The Metro. There have also been crayfish stories on the BBC news.
      – Giving talks.. I’ve visited schools and spoken at natural history societies. I’ve also spoken to fishermen and anglers who are interested in crayfish because they interact with fish.
      – Talking to anyone who’s interested!
