two quick exciting science updates......
1. Wee Rob of ex-organic geochemistry fame at Newcastle (now at NIOZ, Texel, Holland so maybe he has missed all the kerfuffle around Wonders of the Solar System....) has casually informed me he was on board the same WHOI Atlantis cruise with none other than science-man of the moment Prof Brian Cox when he was filming for the final episode of Wonders, and they had a fantastic geobiology chat and cup of tea. Anyone who knows Rob will maybe see the resemblance of the two?! bet they had great musical banter......
2. I've just been invited onto the International Summer Geobiology Course which this year includes a field trip to Yellowstone Park, whilst based at the Colorado School of Mines and Wrigley Institute, Catalina Island, USC, California!!!!!! So excited, 20 scientists on a 5 week field course covering all aspects of geobiology in ancient earth systems, this is real exciting science into early earth evolutionary processes. awesome!
