					<description><![CDATA[Earlier today I reflected on my start as a Blogger™ over on Twitter, which is basically where I blog now (hashtag blogging is dead or something). Stephen Heard (who has his own blog) suggested I post it here too, and I figured for old time sake (and so I don&#8217;t forget my login information) that that <a href='http://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2017/01/12/reflectiononblogging/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Someone who centred their campaign on lies, bigotry, and fear; of others, of science, of reality.

					<description><![CDATA[Another year has come to a close; papers were written, grants awarded, and theses&#8230; progressed? Regardless, 2015 continued the trend of challenging but ultimately rewarding solar orbits for me, marking some pretty major milestones, and forecasting a few others.

Traditionally rung in with the rampant purchasing of sale-priced items, the beginning of Holiday Season™ is now celebrated instead with Black Fly Day.

I&#8217;m not sure there&#8217;s one particular reason why I&#8217;ve let my blogging fall off, but rather a compilation of factors, like doing a PhD (and a number of side-projects&#8230;), the ease of sharing brief thoughts on Twitter, and the &#8220;P&#8221; <a href='http://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2015/10/19/who-are-you/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What makes a good mystery? Well, usually a death is involved, there&#8217;s an unexpected plot twist along the way, and undoubtedly a shadowy figure no one expects ends up playing a central role.

					<description><![CDATA[This week, Nature published a short Correspondence from Giovanni Strona, a biologist &#8220;mainly interested in theoretical ecology&#8221;, with a positively shocking revelation: taxonomists are selling the naming rights to new species. I knew having a fainting couch installed next to my lab bench would pay off one day.
