It has been a busy time of year for me involving lots of study over the current exam period. I’m now looking forward to spending more time focusing on my lab work. This will involve dedicating more time to developing a range of computer skills relevant to my areas of research. Richard and Karin's guidance has been beneficial in this regard, and I’m looking forward to further extending my knowledge and skills. My research is primarily focussed on tethered flight experiments in the hoverfly and more specifically behavioural responses to visual stimuli. A large part of this involves presenting visual stimuli, recording flight data with a camera, and then calculating data with the Kinefly software. This enables various parameters to be analysed such as head/body movements and the angle of wing edges (left and right) from which wing beat amplitude can be determined. Much of this underlies the importance of building the appropriate skills to formulate, test and analyse scientific questions most effectively.
