      No I haven’t I am afraid. Working as a physiologist, you mainly work with humans though some physiologists also work with animal models. But to study new species you would probably need to be a zoologist, biologist, microbiologist or maybe a palaeontologist (studying dinosaur bones).

      Only if you count me at the end of a long days training as a new species! Sadly discovering new species is not something that is part of my day to day work.
