    Marriage v. The Ph.D.

    Really uncanny timing by PhD Comics on this one (although I only just caught it) - for the above was published on the very same day that my old nemesis (er... Ph.D. advisor) came to visit me last week, a reunion after almost a decade!! And what was I thinking getting into both these things simultaneously in the '90s... ah the folly of youth! Well, at least I can say that one of these has endured in my life - and I came through the endurance test of the other alright in the end, bruised and battered, but able to pick myself up, eventually...

    I'm a reconciliation ecologist studying the responses of wildlife to human influences through an evolutionary lens. I seek ways to apply evolutionary ecology towards reconciling biodiversity conservation with human development. Also a father of two girls; photographer; birdwatcher; bookworm; cinephile; and explorer of the internets.
