      I’m doing one at the moment where I video people while they go speed-dating with each other. Then I’m going to analyse the videos and work out if people use certain facial movements when they are trying to make themselves look good in front of others.

      Wow, I certainly can’t beat Ed on exciting experiments! I don’t experiment for my work, but I do some fun things nevertheless. I think my favourite thing to do is to dissect animals to see how their muscles and their skeleton work together. I’ve dissected some cool animals (all dead because of car accidents etc – I didn’t kill any of them!), for example kangaroos, koalas, dolphins, seals or bats. The highlight would have been a 6-m beaked whale that died after stranding!
