 Please complete the online biographies each of you started at last Tuesday's launch meeting. We have moved the biographies to a new wiki page named [[Tools: Warwick biographies|Tools: Warwick biographies]]. There you will find the photographs you uploaded, together with the text your started writing.

 It would be good if each of you could add a couple of sentences as to what you would like to get out of the Warwick/MarineLives programme, any dissertation topics you are considering, and any particular historical interests you have. This will help us identify manuscript pages with content of particular relevance to your own interests, as we select material on which to work together.
