Check out the book "The First Fossil Hunters" by Adrian Mayor. It talks about fossils vs. dragon foklore. Great book. She also has a new one out called "Fossil Legends of the First Americans"

So you are saying that all the effort people are putting into trialling a vaccine against Human Papilloma Virus to protect against cervical cancer is all a waste of time and money?

That reminds me of this article I saw yesterday:

Its cool. There has just not been anyone around the building this week. Maybe when I get back from Japan I can post some pictures of myself at work in the lab.

We should organize a meeting to discuss these fascinating results and inform the whole scientific community about it!
By the way, I refused hair transplant: are you going to have a new smashing brain implanted?

Sure that would be great. But I forgot where to go. What was I doing again..... Have you seen my cat?[)]

There has not been anyone around who can take a picture of me working, but I have put together a page about my lab and there are two pictures on there of the lab itself. Enjoy []http://www.dinochick.com/Paleo/RKH_augielab.html

There are dinosaur trackways up near Darwin, I believe (not sure if that is in your radius distance). There are also dinosaur bones known from Victoria & Inverloch, and a book published on all of the dinosaur finds in Australia in 2000 called 'Dinosaurs of Darkness.' There are also the Koonwarra fossil beds...

I will see what I can do. I don't really have any pictures of myself working in the lab, since I work by myself. I'll check with my boss though and get his approval. It really is a great job! I feel pretty lucky to be doing what I love

Hello all! My name is ReBecca and I have been listening to the podcast for a while now. It is a great thing to have for me, because I am "trapped" all day in my lab with ear muffs, eye protection, and a dust mask on, so it gives me something to concentrate on while I work. What do I do? Well, I am a vertebrate paleontologist and fossil preparators (same thing in my eyes). I am currently working on a 700lb block from Antarctica that contains the remains of the theropod dinosaur, Cryolophosaurus. So, as I grind away to free him from his rocky grave, I also listen to Chris and group. It's a great way to pass the time and learn all sorts of new info.
Glad to have found this forum, I hope to learn even more!
Cheers!
