This carnival celebrates the people of science and engineering - those who innovate, invent, research, teach, and reach out. This Blog Carnival tells the stories of achievement and perseverance. Why is such…
From time to time, my job requires some travel in order to run my experiments and this week I found myself in Houston, TX, yet again.

Yes, very proud. Wish I didn't have the headphones on. I keep forgetting how loud the big birds can be. Great video, though. Birds really are amazing creatures. Did you catch PZ's link to that new Inner Bird book? I might have to drive over to the UBC bookstore and get myself a copy!
