      I did my PhD (that’s 3 years of study which leads to you being a Doctor of Philosophy i.e. Dr) on fish behaviour! My research assistant first started calling me that because it was his job to bring me a mystery fish for each new behavioural observation (to make it a fair experiment it had to be a mystery which noise treatment the fish had had).
