MBERC teaching and observing...

On Tuesday I attended the 1st of 6 lectures given by Simon in Threatened Aqautic Ecosystems. These are the sets of lectures I am due to take over next academic year, breathing new life into the topic. :-) I have never seen Simon lecture before, but had heard comments from students through the years. It seems he doesn't get much joy out of doing it. He apologised numerous times during the lecture and said the word 'important' about 50 times! I hope that when I take over I don't do the same!
