Updates

In all fairness, I think most of us joined the dark side a long time ago. Still, I don't suppose that should keep us from staying in touch with one another; that is the whole point of this blog, after all. In that spirit, I have a few updates from my end of things. I just submitted an abstract of my proposal to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in hopes of presenting at their conference the Fall (In Texas! Yeeha!). Any of you all planning on being there, by any chance?
Also, while I imagine that Phil's admirable English reserve kept him from bragging about this, he and I (and Graeme, for that matter) will all be attending the Paleobiology Database's summer course in sunny Southern California. I'm planning on spending the rest of the summer in the deserts of Eastern Oregon looking for a good site to focus on for my PhD project, studying the effect of the mid-Miocene warm spike on mammal communities. Thrilling stuff, I know. At any rate, I hope you all are doing well, and keep those updates coming!

No one talks about their work anymore...where are the phylogenies, the theories, the papers, the updates??????? Are we palaeo-padwans or have we turned to the dark side...................
