Some thoughts on:
I am currently an Acoustic Biology Researcher at Natural History Museum, London, working on the Urban Nature Project. I formerly worked in the Department of Electronic Engineering at the University of York (Leverhulme funded Automated Acoustic Observatories project) and the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.
