Contents
Education
Jones graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from the University of Leeds in 1993 and with a Ph.D. from the University of Surrey in 1998.[3][6]
Research
Jones is interested in understanding how biodiversity is maintained and conserved globally.[7] She won a 2008 Philip Leverhulme Award in Zoology (given to "outstanding young scholars … whose future contributions are held to be of correspondingly high promise") and holds a number of scientific advisory board positions for national and international conservation charities.[8]
Jones has researched bats in Transylvania where she developed new ways of monitoring bat populations through sound.[9][10]
Jones has been involved in a number of citizen science projects including Bat Detective and a phone related bat monitoring project.[1][11][12][13] According to Google Scholar[2] and Scopus[14] her most cited papers have been published in Science[15] and Nature.[16][17][18][19]
Jones says that Charles Darwin is "allegedly" her 8th cousin 6 times removed.[20][21] This implies that her 13 times great-grandfather was Darwin's 7 times great-grandfather.[22]
Personal life
Jones is also known for her love of cocktails, which she discussed with Jim Al-Khalili on the BBC radio programme The Life Scientific.[23][24][25][26]
