Berlin

Post by Acromyrmexbob » Tue Jan 24, 2017 4:37 pm

Just sitting in the Airport in Berlin waiting for flight home, via Amsterdam. Delivered very large number of colonies to Antstore today, not as many to look after now at home. Time to spread them out and start the large ones growing for the future. Still looking for an intern!!!!!

If you want to pay me £6 per hour to come and work for me, Marco, then I accept. But travelling to Scotland every morning may take a while!
What I would say is this is a real opportunity for someone to possibly create a career working with these insects and moving on to travelling around the world consulting and advising. I am genuinely looking to train someone over a couple of years to do this and assist me. In the first 25 days of 2017 I have been in St Lucia, Trinidad, Berlin and Amsterdam. Over the next month I will also go to Canada, Belgium, and Austria. If sounds good from the outside but actually it is quite arduous for one person to do. So if you know of someone who would be interested then I would be interested in meeting them.

I would do it - and I can be a french translator too :D but in all seriousness wait until I'm a little older and I'd happily do it... Other than that I only know 2 people who may be interested

I will put this around my University Andrew, as we have many students that are very keen on entomology. Our graduates are looking for work/placements now.

Fantastic. That will be very good! Would benefit from someone who is interested in research also. If you get anyone interested please let me know.
