This – click here – is an interesting chat with Prof Paul Racey who was my PhD supervisor many years ago. He’s a great guy, was a very good mentor to me and has done an awful lot for bat conservation and bat science over the years.
Amongst some reminiscences (which I’m afraid include my name) there is quite a lot of wisdom and interesting accounts of how to work the system and how decisions are made.
The fact that he was my PhD supervisor means that without a doubt he is a ‘senior’ figure in his field and given the chance of listening to someone of that age or someone 20-something I’d tend to opt for the old people who can take you back to how things were, can take you back to a time before the internet and, as in this case, have had the time and the wisdom to have reflected on their own and others’ achievements and failures and get them in perspective.
Skip the first 5 minutes and fast forward through the bit about me and enjoy the rest.
