@design_RG they are exquisite drawings. Robert Hooke must have been beside himself when seeing all those details for the first time through his own hand ground lenses. If for nothing else, the internet has served a purpose in storing record of his work.

Next time you visit New Zealand, remember you are actually visiting Zealandia / New Zealand, the great submerged continent is like the Gnu to New Zealand's Linux.

@design_RG nice to meet you. That is a creative commons image, I'll have to find the link (I've just failed scientific communication 101 haven't I). As soon as I can photograph some of my own I will be certain to share the results of those too.

"A key reason for a scientist to work with Aboriginal people in Australia is to try to see the country through their eyes — makes you a better ecologist as well as a richer person."

Great to see what they are doing.
