It's always on these two days - 28th and 29th - after the madness of Christmas and just before the insanity of NYE - that I feel a little twinge of guilt for not Working. Let me tell you folks, the American work culture is toxic, pernicious, and really, really hard to shed for good

Some exciting work out of the Otago Palaeogenetics lab investigating the evolutionary history of the famous rainbow chicken ๐Ÿ“ What can sub fossil takahฤ“ and moho bones tell us about the history of these charming birds?

Wow, what an exciting find! Had a quick peek at the paper - can only imagine how they must have felt trying to make sure they were really seeing what they thought they were seeing. Those kinds of discoveries keep the wonder of science alive ๐Ÿงฌ

There seems to be a lot of very cool things about Melbourne but so far the best is the flying foxes in town ๐Ÿฆ‡

Had a great time at #CAVEPS2023 here in Melbourne. Astounded by the passion and talent on display - met so many excellent minds doing incredible palaeo work!
