I really should be doing some proper work, but I thought I’d pass on a provocative post from a blog I recently discovered about vertebrate palaeontology, and how wonderful it is.
By the way (and this s sort-of relevant), I’m a failed viola player.

That was good!
How true. As I often say to Gees Minor and Minima, 25 years ago I couldn’t even spell ‘palaeontologist’ and now I are one.
It’s great to completely skip doing stats and STILL boast that you’re a scientist, but let’s face it: molecular biologist have developed this trick ages ago…
Pah, Cristian! Pah! Molecular biologists aren’t as clever as they think. They think they’re doing bioinformatics, but don’t realize what’s under the hood.
Delightful. Thanks for the link!
“I’m a failed viola player”
Oxymoron.
Don’t you mean tautology?
“I’m a failed viola player”
Me too!
I’m also a failed oboe player, and an ever so slightly NOT-failed classical guitarist.
“Don’t you mean tautology?”
Yes, I probably do. I always mix those up. Whatever makes sense, coming from a violINist
I think “viola player” might be an oxymoron. It was in my case.
