      My next test isn’t a practical experiment (meaning an experiment where I actually go out and change things in the real world to see what happens). My next test is me trying to model what I think will happen in the future to pollinators and climate change. From the tests I am doing now I have information about how pollinators have reacted to climate change and how that has affected the plants they pollinate. Next I am going to take that information and compare it to how we think the climate will change in the future. I will then be able to make a prediction about how I think pollinators and the plants they pollinate will change in the future. I will do this mainly on computers using a lot of maths!

      I’m not conducting any experiments at the moment, because I currently work to support the scientists doing experiments. At the moment the big area of research we are supporting is sustainable food, so growing crops which are good for our diet and good for the environment.
