It may be that we see a bit more activity on this blog, following Talitha's suggestion to crank up the old-style journal club. That is, a club with more than one person in it, who actually read and discuss journal articles, and post their musings on this site (formerly created for that very purpose).
I'd be very keen on this sort of development, particulary as I thought I heard an offer for participants to take charge of at least some of the selection of articles and the blogging. As Talitha put it, a bit like a book club, but with less reading. Less work for me? - sounds very worthwhile.
Partly, this springs from my newly acquired role as one of the Graduate Research Coordinators in the School of Earth and Environment. Lots of this role is administrative, to be sure, but the opportuntity to interact with many of the School's motivated and scarily smart graduate research students is inspiring (and a lot of fun).

I have worked at UWA since 1995, coming from New Zealand to take an appointment as Lecturer in the Soil Science group in the former Faculty of Agriculture. I completed my PhD, from Lincoln University in New Zealand, in 1991. If you really want to find out about work stuff go
here. In real life I love my wife, daughter and guitar. Occasionally, I wish I had chosen a career as a carpenter, counsellor or poet.
