Fri night & Kids' volleyball shuttling is done. The single malt is poured. Time for the 1970 Dr Who classic, Inferno - A scathing critique of the western world's destructive extraction of fossil fuels + super cool scifi ideas + very creepy = one of the best pieces of TV ever made.

Managed to get a grant through final submission this week & still get fieldwork done. Time for a single malt and the 1970 classic, Dr. Who and the Silurians (1970). Great socioecological message for cross-cultural & cross-species equitable use of resources.

I work in the wetlands around Sydney monitoring the bird and mammal communities in which mosquito-borne viruses circulate and can spillover to people.

Using the time between holidays to catch up on some fieldwork in Sydney's glorious wetlands. The mozzies were certainly happy to see me. 🦟

Time for a single malt and one of the single most bizarre, most bat-sh*t crazy pieces of TV ever made: the 1965 Dr Who story, the Web Planet, about insect people and a superbeing that looks like a bouncy-castle.

Hot day for fieldwork today in Sydney's wetlands. But they are no less glorious, and I'm no less happy to be out in them! Beautiful!

Hi everyone! I've really been liking this new place, so thought I'd do an intro. My name is Mike and I do ecology and epidemiology stuff. Our fieldwork season is about to go into high gear, so I'll post some photos from the glorious wetlands and bushlands around Sydney as we go.
