some tools (basically for me):

crazy RSS compiler of recent bat articles

web of science (wos)

e-journals (through brown university)

on the new look:

Lately I've been trying to fix up my website using cascading style sheets (css), mostly because I hate Dreamweaver. I found that this website was a useful introductory tutorial, and that this website was helpful in terms of formatting. Overall I'm happy with the new look of my site. More importantly, though, it's much much cleaner than it was, and changes to the whole site can be made very easily now. Thanks to Casey Dunn and Jadrian Miles for helping me get started.

news:

[20080812] I currently appear in all 13 episodes of the show evolve on the history channel!

[20080802] Our paper in the Journal of Theoretical Biology came out today.

[20080801] I've uploaded pictures of the trip I took with my father to the Sabi Sands of South Africa, adjacent to Kruger National Park. I saw five species of bats there: two I'd seen before (Miniopterus schreibersii and Pipistrellus kuhlii), and three I hadn't (Epomophorus wahlbergi, Pipistrellus capensis, and Scotophilus dinganii). This brings the life total to 94. Booya.

[20080712] At the meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology in Marseille France (July 2008), I presented some preliminary results on the kinematics of diffferent sized bats, and won third prize in the Biomechanics section.
