To provide insight into my life as a PhD student, I am going keep a blog that details what I’m generally up to with research, including what I’ve been up to in the lab, what I’m currently studying/reading (with a Paper of the Week segment), any exciting news in the wider paleontology/biology world and hopefully a balanced aspect on the journey of being a grad student in the US!

A few notes :

  • I am going to use American English, despite how it pains me. This means paleontology rather than palaeontology, and specialization rather than specialisation.
  • The updates will typically be weekly, with a new post on Sunday evenings.
  • Most of the information will be Paleontology/Research related, but there may be a slip into popular culture or other interests occasionally, sometimes I can’t help it. Blame Bill Simmons, whose writing style is a personal favorite of mine.
