About SALMON (Study And Learning Materials ONline)

SALMON is written by Paul Kenyon who graduated from Queens University Belfast in 1969 with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Psychology. In 1976 he was awarded a Ph.D. by the University of Reading. He lectured in the Department of Psychology, University of Plymouth from 1973 to 2006. He has published papers in psychopharmacology, psychoteratology and physiological psychology. Here is a list of his research publications. SALMON won the 1998 Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association (UCISA) Teaching and Learning Award for demonstrating innovative or exemplary use of the Web and was a finalist at EASA98 held at the University of Oxford in September 1998. Paul has recently taken early retirement and devotes more time than is reasonable to his lifelong love of all things associated with trout and rivers. He and his colleague Geoff Stephens now operate Fly Fishing Devon which offers fly fishing instruction and guiding on Dartmoor and in Souh Devon, UK. The picture is of Paul's son Richard who is a lot better looking than his Dad!
