Laura Sutherland is interviewed for the Arkive Blog
I’ve always had a bit of a fascination with nature and the outdoors, and like nothing more than being outside in my wellies, camera in hand. This led me to study Biological Sciences at Oxford University and then Biological Photography & Imaging at the University of Nottingham. After completing my Masters degree I moved to Bristol to start work as an ARKive Media Researcher and have been here ever since.

Do you have what it takes to help deliver a lamb? Have you got the guts to get up close and personal with a giant millipede or tarantula? Or maybe you’ve always wondered how nature produces its own genetic mutants?
If so, a free family event being held in Nottingham this weekend, and involving a host of experts from The University of Nottingham, could offer the perfect day out, mixing the fascinating with the fun.
Science in the Park 2011, taking place at Wollaton Hall on Saturday March 12 from 11am to 4pm, has been organised by the British Science Association Nottinghamshire Branch and aims to open up people’s eyes to the wonder of science in the world around them.

Today was the start of the Biological Photography module with the undergrads at the School of Biology, The University of Nottingham. This is an eleven-week module with 120-second year students in attendance. The students have four assignments and a final course project during these eleven weeks, each of the projects is designed to teach them the basic to advanced photography skills, and their projects are biological in theme.
The Students use an Olympus 420E Digital SLR with a 14-42mm lens during the period of the module; almost all of them have never used a SLR before and have no understanding of photography.
But they soon learn and produce outstanding pieces of work. The M.S.c students from the Biological Photography and Imaging course act as mentors to the undergrads, it is a two way learning systems, the undergrads are split into groups of ten, they then have a one to ten ratio, as the M.S.c student acts as a front line supervisor which in turn is supported by Steve Galloway Taught Course Specialist and headed by David McMahon the Imaging Course Convenor. Pictured are some of the M.S.c students interacting with the undergrads during the class room session

At The University of Nottingham, we run three course one is the Masters course, the other two are modules run on the undergraduate programme one in the third year which starts in September and the second programme which starts in January. The masters students act as mentors to the second year module on which there is 120 students. On all three courses we teach the students photography with Biology/ Biological as the subject. Here the Master students are receiving instruction on how to use the Digital SLR Olympus cameras. On the undergraduate modules the university supply all the equipment for the students to use.
