Having previously worked on this long-term badger research system, I am now a research fellow in the Institute of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Edinburgh where my group works at the interface of behaviour, population ecology and epidemiology. My team will be bringing our expertise on network analysis and modelling to the BADGER project to understand how social and spatial behaviour fit into the bigger picture in terms of long-term M. bovis epidemiology, as well as integrating behaviour alongside other aspects of the research including senescence and demography.
