Live coverage of Big Protist Conference (ICOP) in Vancouver, 28 Jul -- 02 Aug

There's a big protist meeting in Vancouver starting tomorrow, and I've been generously supported by ICOP and ISOP to attend as a reporter. I'd like to invite you all to follow us during and/or peruse the results afterwards -- further information is here. In summary:

Cheers, and hope to see y'all there, in some form! =)

Ongoing page for protistology resources

(Yes, I still exist!)
I've been prompted to compile a collection of suggested resources on protist diversity and biology, and quite frankly, I'm getting a bit too lazy to look things up and send the links again and again. So I've made a page on Protistology Resources -- it's still raw, but I hope it can help some people get started. If there's anything you'd like to contribute, including own lab pages, papers, etc -- please feel free to comment or email me!

If anyone wonders where I hang out these days: I've a blog with Scientific American -- The Ocelloid. And yes, I definitely really really need to blog more, both here and there.

Cheers, and hoping to be around more often.
