What is your name?
Joe Parker
where are you from?
Southampton, now live in South London
I’m a songwriter and a biologist. But trying to learn how to be a composer.
Which legs are doing?
All the cool southern ones!!
Gin caddy. No seriously – in the odd extremely rare off-moment I’m going to be working on a sample chapter for a book about human/biological networks I want to hawk round the publishers (to pay for the trip!)
1 – Stay alive. 2 – Make friends. 3 – See some pack ice!
Definitely ice, but also really excited about polar bioluminescence; I saw it in the Arctic in 2005 and I love that stuff…
Being unable to cycle for months – I might go crazy!
Before I’ll be working every single hour to get ready. Afterwards my boss wants me back in the lab in London (but I might try and squeeze a week in Buenos Aires, eheheheh)
My bike (see above)!
Joe Parker also has his own website, it seems to be about his music and his science. If you are sailing with Joe and want to learn more about him then check out: http://www.lonelyjoeparker.com/
