Lizard Man's Travels

This site is a journal of my travels and other adventures while I shift from doing postdoctoral research on tree frog ecology in Darwin, Australia, to research on digestive physiology of lizards and bats in Sede Boqer, Israel. Enough friends have been asking me for regular updates on this journey, that I thought this would be the best forum to keeep everyone up to date (including me).

Woohoo

Woohoo! I finished my last sample today. Finally. All of the experiments done from this end. Now I just have to figure out what it all means. Of course, it would be easier to do that if I had datapoints instead of just samples. Well, that will be soon. Most of my samples are already in the mail to Wisconsin for analysis. Nothing will get back to me before I'm supposed to present it at the meeting in S. Africa, but that's okay. I'll just wing it on the poster. Tomorrow I have to get up at 5am to go to Tel Aviv to get more visa pages in my passport. For some reason, US passports are distinctly short of visa pages, but they also offer to add pages to them without charge. You just have to go to the nearest embassy, which is in Tel Aviv. Unfortunately, they are only open from 8:30-11:00 am. And the bus and train schedules don't align very well, so a trip that should take 1 1/2 hours by car, takes about 4 hours by bus, train and taxi. Oh well. At least all that time on the train should give me a chance to work on my talks and poster.
