Studying the ecosystem close to home may be less glamorous than heading for an unexplored jungle, but it' s no less important or magical. I' m Juliet Brodie, and I work on seaweeds. I think the reason I' m working on seaweeds goes right back to when I was a little tiny child aged about two, and my parents decided to enter me into a fancy dress competition. And they dressed me up as a sort of little sea creature, and I was just draped in kelp, and I stood in this corral and I bawled my eyes out, so I' ve had a sort of lovehate relationship with seaweeds ever since. When I was a bit older and I took up diving and found that under water, there was the most amazing world, and just how beautiful seaweeds were. The history of collecting seaweeds goes back a very very long way, and in fact some of the oldest specimens in the museum are seaweeds going back to about 400 years. |
