Dr Andrea Graves

Biology and the natural environment captivate Andrea. She has zoology degrees from Waikato and Oxford universities, and did her doctoral studies at the latter on stress in chickens. She edits for other authors, but mainly writes features about science-related topics for publications such as the 'New Zealand Listener', focusing on the tricky balance - or lack of - between humans and nature. Andrea lives with her family in Hamilton and loves reading, bush walking, growing food and keeping chickens.
