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).

This is what's been keeping me busy this week. I've been working on our paper on the algae that grow under translucent rocks. One type of rock that supports this growth is prehnite, which is apparently used insome jewelry. You can see why - it polishes up nicely.
