After leaving Aberdeen Nadia spent 12 years as a field-based researcher studying a variety of mammals including bats and chimpanzees in countries as far afield as Tanzania, Ivory Coast and New Zealand.
Her interest in health grew whilst working in Africa and led to her studying for an MA in overseas development with particular emphasis on the health implications of forced mass displacement.
Nadia joined the Centre for Ageing and Mental Health in May 2006 as a research officer and is involved in a project to evaluate the reconfiguration of Mental Health services in Sandwell.
Eric Swanepoel (PhD 1994-1998)
Novelist, Edinburgh

Buy his computer ager book at amazon . See if you can spot the people from the University in it.
Eric also published a book in 2006 under the name Josh Artmaier. It is called
Pet hates: the shocking truth about pets and vets.
In case, like me, you didn't spot it, Josh Artmaier is an anagram of James Herriot. Eric actually wrote this book before the computer ager but struggled to get it published.
Click here to see a video of Eric describing the book and his motivations for writing it. It is available from AMAZON here .
In April 2009 he edited a book called
I LOST MY JOB AND I LIKED IT: 30-Day Law-Of-Attraction Diary of a Dream Job Seeker (Juicy Living Series) (Paperback) by Lilou Mace
Eric has a blog you can read.
