Charles Darwins, I find on my internet today.
One of the best is Digital Cuttlefish, whose biopoetry never fails to raise a smile.
I am delighted to have been one of its many muses.
In other news I have just returned from a trip to London to see the Big Idea exhibition at Mr Owen’s Natural History Museum. I am delighted to see my mockingbirds restored to their proper place in the story of my theory of evolution. And I wholeheartedly support the campaign to save the remaining Floreana mockingbirds from extinction. It was human intervention which drove them to the verge of dying out, so we will hear none of this ‘ah but you’re interfering, maybe they should go extinct’.
One of the specimens in the exhibition was my trusty geological hammer, with which I knocked more than a few living specimens on the head. I hope at the time it was in a noble cause, but I would not recommend that first year undergraduate courses teach caving a fox’s head in with a hammer as a laudable method of specimen procuring.
I just posted on your mockingbirds recently. I really hope I can get to see them soon.
As our time for embargo has just passed, I thought you might like to see your image on the journal that was created, in part, to describe your ideas for the general public:
