Mascot/Pet Therapist

Peanut was an old rescue dog, and the offical mascot for the Crowds and Identities research group. Due to the fact that she was a dog, Peanut did not produce any publishable research, a fact that Professor Drury has now come to terms with. Peanut has also dabbled in pet therapy, providing students and staff in the School of Psychology with cuddles and friendship in times of stress.
