I'm just back from Panglao 2005, give me a couple of days to sort out the pictures and I'll put something up, either here or in the museum news site.

In the meantime, here's a group photo.




It's been a fruitful and profitable trip, aside from the whole expedition experience of dredging, trawling, sorting and the general camaraderie. I also met Prof (Simon) Tillier, who spent time with me almost every other night, discussing my dissertation with me. This one, I totally didn't expect. I guess I'm generally lucky that way. Meeting very kind people who go out of their way to talk to me about my work as a fledgling scientist. It was also nice to see Yuri and Bertrand again. I think there are plans for me to go aboard an expedition cruise in Vanuatu later this year, but nothing's fixed yet. We'll see.
