@baileymymie8: Hey there – thanks for the great chat questions today!
For me, I need to finish my PhD research (hope to do that within the next six months) – then I’ll be Dr Mia. In that time the organisation I just helped set up (http://www.workingdogalliance.com.au) should have achieved some more good work and we’ll hopefully be in a position to work with some research groups to conduct more independent research into how we can improve working dog welfare. This is a field of research I could spend my whole career working in. I might also help to advise working dog programs (like the Police or Guide dogs) on developing best practice (the best way of doing things) for their working dog programs.

I am “system architect” for a set of computer programs that process pictures (from satellites, video cameras, all sorts, even some things that we would not normally think of as pictures). That means it is my job to make sure all of the programs work well together (a bit like a teacher trying to make a disobedient class work together 🙂 ).
My next step is to find new ways of making the programs work together and better ways of describing what we want it to do.

I am trying to finalise some experiments so I can write a scientific paper about the results and I am writing a text book related to wine chemistry with some people from the US and this is something I need to keep working on. I also need to make sure my PhD students are going okay with their projects, which means lots of discussion and looking at results.
