		<title>Playing with DNA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had my first really successful day in the molecular lab yesterday. This is a gel from a PCR reaction of beta fibrinogen intron 7 for eight cockatoo species. While I promise not to show many more of these (it gets boring pretty quick), it&#8217;s exciting because everything worked. Lanes 1-8 have a single band, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Not Dead Yet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; as the famous line from Monty Python goes. I&#8217;ve put up some pictures of an outing a couple of weeks ago to a local ranch, where my university&#8217;s biology department hosts an annual Bioblitz, identifying every species regardless of taxa they possibly can. I managed to get one picture in particular that I just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mentos + Diet Coke = Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What do you get when you take The Fresh Maker &#174; and The Real Thing &#174; and put them together? My wife and I heard about this recently on the popular show Myth Busters, and after seeing it, we had to try it out. Lucky for me, I had a professor that needed a 3 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let Me Share This Funny Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ll indulge me, I have quite a story to share. It&#8217;s about life and what we want from life. It&#8217;s about what we find important, what we really value, and what we&#8217;ll do without in order to get it. My wife is a waitress this summer. The other day at work, she had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Which My In-laws Undoubtedly Concur</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Upon my return home from thesis work, my wife had to share a quote she&#8217;d gotten a laugh from. It&#8217;s from The Simpsons, the modern purveyor of truth that it is. Bart [after watching a foreign film] : I was so bored I cut the pony tail off the guy in front of us. [holds [...]]]></description>

		<title>What It Is, Exactly, That I&#8217;m Doing Out Here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not long after the start of this summer field season, keiths asked if I could explain what I was doing for my thesis in a little more detail. I said I would, I meant to, but somehow I got lazy when it came around to actually doing it. Well, I aim to be a man [...]]]></description>

		<title>Davis Mountains Accomodations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My I&#8217;ve been busy. I finally got around to putting up pictures. They&#8217;re not much, but I haven&#8217;t been carrying my camera with me yet. For now, I&#8217;m staying in the McIvor Center. It&#8217;s a spacious building that&#8217;s got nice facilities including a kitchen and an adequate bedroom. It&#8217;s also got a wireless internet network [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Thesis &#8212; Davis Mountains Here I Come</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am excited to announce something I&#8217;ve known about for a while but have yet to announce as I worked out the particulars. I&#8217;m leaving tomorrow to begin my thesis on avian community ecology in the Davis Mountains. I will spend two field seasons of approximately six to eight weeks focusing on quantitatively describing the [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Finished</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t begin to tell you how excited I feel right now. I&#8217;m done with this semester. Well, the heavy academic part at least. Three finals in the last three days have left me wasted. I studyed my butt off for evolutionary ecology tonight. I don&#8217;t even want to hear about an N-dimensional hypervolume for [...]]]></description>

The night before the lectures, they have an informal BBQ where faculty and certain students can hear the life story of the speaker, meet them, and ask questions.
