Hey Becky, great to have you here!

I feel that in animal conservation the importance of zoos is often underestimated. Does the RSPB currently work with zoos in or outside of britain for scientific or for conservation efforts? If so, could you link some of the projects. I'm very interested since I plan to write my M.Sc. next year primarily in animal conservation and biodiversity. Thank you in advance!

I'm flying to Madagascar next year for my master's studies to do research on mouse lemurs and I'm working with locals there as well.

What are some things I should pay attention to when speaking with the locals and are there things/topics that I should avoid so I won't offend them?

That really helped. Thank you!

What are the leading causes for diabetes in americans?

Obviously obesity would be the top one, but I want to know if some specific food ingredients, like e.g. corn syrup, are responsible for the current diabetes epidemic in the US.

Thanks for answering!
