We are urgently developing research requirements with other European laboratories to make sure we understand and the disease (Schmallenberg) better.David Boderke
My journalistic career started almost by accident in the 1960s. I was sitting in a coffee bar in town when I saw a goodly number of tasty young ladies walking into some offices and thought ‘that’s where I want to work’. Unfortunately I didn’t have the right qualifications, so I switched to journalism, for which the main attribute is being nosey! Started as sports reporter on a weekly, then switched to an evening paper covering its largest regional patch. Next to Reed International as northern news editor for its company mags, covering Nottingham to Aberdeen. When they closed, I joined a weekly group of newspapers and became group news editor. Finally, I joined Farmers Guardian later becoming poultry correspondent, before becoming deputy news editor. In my spare time I’m a season ticket holder at Blackburn Rovers and go walking in the Lake District and Peak District. When there’s no football I tend to sulk and make a lot of curries.
