Wilkins in foreign climes

Well, actually the weather in Tempe, Arizona, seems to be very much like the weather here in Brisbane, but that's where I'm going. For a couple of weeks. Also in Salt Lake City. So blogging shall be sparse unless I get inspired at the Systematics and Biodiversity workshop, as I surely shall. And then to Utah to the Edges and Boundaries of Biological Objects Workshop, at which I'm not presenting 'coz I didn't know I'd be in the States early enough, but I'll be a gadfly to those there, I warrant.

So expect even less blogging than before. I'm even lecturing while travelling (the course is presented electronically) so my mind will be full (which, before any of you say it, doesn't take much).

I thought I'd take a bit of a break for a change of pace. At the risk of falling flat on my face, I'm going to wander far afield from the usual medical and biological topics of this blog into an area that I rarely say much about. The reason is an incident that happened nearly two weeks ago when I…
Not infrequently, I get asked what it is I do, anyway, as a scientisty sort of person. I blogged it, of course, but that was a "typical day" - during term time and filled with paperwork and class prep and general rushing about. This morning I woke up and found the Sb Overlords had frontpaged this…

I going out to Tucson Sunday week for a week of flying model airplanes. Retirement is good!
