A few videos from Greece
August 4, 2015
Well, life got crazy again. I’m prepping for a conference next week in Baltimore, trying to push two papers out the door before September deadlines, sorting out shipping specimens from Greece to CT, trying to make sense of dissertation writing, and putting together post-doc (!) applications. To take my mind off all that for a minute, … More A few videos from Greece
Italian Wall Lizards in Connecticut!
July 16, 2015
Exciting news! There’s a new lizard species making its way into New England. It is called Podarcis sicula (the Italian Wall Lizard), and it’s officially in Greenwich CT, just over the New York state border. I’ve been down to visit the area half a dozen times now looking to see where the lizards are and in … More Italian Wall Lizards in Connecticut!
Still waiting on Aeolus
May 12, 2015
At my last post I was on Paros waiting for the winds to die down so we could get out to survey the experimental islets. Well, they never calmed. While I think we could make the kayak across the straits in one piece, the lizards are wisely hunkered down and we really can’t expect to get a decent … More Still waiting on Aeolus
A quick update
May 10, 2015
Hi Everyone, It’s been busy here! Anthony has arrived from Paris with a masters student, Menelia. We’ve been hiking, herping, and plotting the revisitation of the experimental islets from last year. Unfortunately, the one thing we haven’t managed yet is to catch any Podarcis on the islets – it’s super windy here and, while we might … More A quick update
Some Naxos Pictures
May 6, 2015
So for that last post I was looking back at old blog entries from the last few years to link you to some shots of town and give you a sense of where I’m setting up camp. I was surprised that they were fairly few and far between. That means I need to post some more. I … More Some Naxos Pictures
Made it to Naxos!
May 5, 2015
After a couple of hours telephoning and taxiing around Athens, my package and I were safely reunited! things came together quickly enough that I actually had plenty of time to catch the afternoon BlueStar ferry to the islands and have a delicious lunch. I was going to just go for a cold sandwich but since dinner … More Made it to Naxos!
Still in Athens
May 3, 2015
Well, I’d hoped to be in Naxos by now, but I’m still in Athens. In an attempt to save myself a bit of luggage hauling, I decided to ship some research supplies ahead to the University here. Unfortunately, the attempted delivery was just before 6 pm on a Friday. Big surprise, no one was in the … More Still in Athens
À Paris… Ahh, Paris
May 2, 2015
If you read that as “In Paris…. <wistful sigh> Paris” then we’re on the same page. I’ve left Paris but in many ways, reluctantly. Lucky my flight was going to bring me to the Greek islands or I think I’d have stayed. My stay in Paris was very productive! Lots of meeting new people, talking … More À Paris… Ahh, Paris
Made it to Paris!
April 27, 2015
This’ll be a short post, I’m falling asleep as I type! I’m going on 40 hours of awakeness and I think think it’s time to reverse the pattern! I made it without issue to Paris and I’ve just returned from a 12 km stroll down the Seine. Here are a few pictures from the walk. … More Made it to Paris!
