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 🐓 What can sub fossil takahē and moho bones tell us about the history of these charming birds?
When did the ancestors of takahē & moho (two flightless rails endemic to Aotearoa) arrive in NZ? How did humans & past environmental change impact them? Our new ancient DNA research out now in Molecular Ecology sheds light on these questions onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 📷 Oscar Thomas.

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

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!
