One man's struggle against impermanence
John Wilkins is an eternal student, who thinks philosophy of biology is at least as interesting as politics or sport and twice as important. He has a PhD from the University of Melbourne and worked at the University of Queensland, in Australia, before taking up a research fellowship at the University of Sydney. After a varied career, involving factories, gardening, civil service, publishing, graphics, public relations but not, unfortunately for the CV, driving a truck, John finally completed his thesis on species concepts in 2004, which he has worked into two books.
This blog is designed evolved to host any random thoughts that happen to be passing through my forebrain at a given moment. So there will be errors...
I also have an Australia-focussed blog: The Drought Resistant Philosopher

Ignore the incredibly lame credits song. This is a cool video, filmed in Panama by actual ecology students, foot fungus and all...

I don't know if anyone is likely to see this, but in case they are, we were a bit peeved that agricultural biodiversity got such short shrift in this otherwise excellent video. So we've launched a competition to remedy that defect. Why not enter?
