Christchurch Trip
penny June 21st, 2007
Pics from Christchurch, NZ trip here. No people pictures. Just the sights. And some random shots of moi.
The conference was Evolution 2007. It was too big a group to get to know everyone, so I took it slow speaking with fellow postgraduates and a handful of professional academics. Biologists are an interesting brood, I have to say. Even more so the theoretical lot. It was particularly curious to meet Mark’s colleagues from his honours, postgrad and postdoc years. What I found quite funny was his Stanford peers saying how Mark’s academic lineage extends to as far back as Karl Friedrich Gauss… so that they were calling me their academic ‘niece’, ‘cousin’ since I was, they said Mark’s ‘daughter’.
[storytelling put to a stop... i've typed up really long narratives only to get them lost into internet oblivion... guess I wasn't destined to tell too much. maybe just a bit as we go...]
