No I’m afraid I don’t. It’s a nice story though and I like the look of the http://www.seaturtles911.org/ site it links to.
You might be interested in a Glasgow University scientist called Debbie McNeill, who I interviewed and filmed recently.
She got into into being a scientist because she worked on turtles out in Trinidad. She’s just finished her PhD, which was on newts and is back out with the turtles right now.
You can see Debbie here: http://www.realscience.org.uk/science-news-translocation-Gartcosh-newts.html

Douglas commented on :
Hi,
I’d like you to vote for me because I’d put the money into making my website better.
The point of Real Science is to bring science news to young people in a way they’ll like, understand and get something out of.
I’d like everyone to feel something like what I feel about science, even if they don’t want to be scientists. Why?
Well, science teaches you to think for yourself, to look for evidence and to not believe stuff just because people tell you it.
That’s a good way of thinking for ev erybody – trust your brain and look for the evidence.
