I’m at the London natural history museum for a conference this week. Always a good excuse to go looking at the exhibits in the lunch break. In all the years I’ve been visiting NHM, one fossil has really stuck in my memory.
It’s an ichthyosaur, that died while giving birth. An amazing, if sad find.
The hotel room was booked via work’s travel agent. The view and facilities were rather lacking.
My colleague is a rare creature, an Englishman who will complain. He got both our rooms upgraded.
The view is significantly better now.
Stuck in Philadelphia on a stop over while they change a wheel on the aircraft.
I’m gone to America to talk about science for a week.
Some recent photographs from the Regent’s Canal as it passes though the QMUL campus.
There were several of these grasshoppers chirping away, trying to find a mate. They were very approachable, not vanishing just as the shutter clicks. Common species, both male and female have short front wings and no hind wings.
