Academia.edu Oliver, is this publication yours? Help us keep your profile up to date. The multiple sex chromosomes of platypus and echidna are not completely identical and several share homology with the avian Z Oliver Clarke 2007, Genome Biology
Sadly I think I will never crossover with the other Oliver Clarke, who studies echidna and platypus genetics
Amusing slip of the keyboard there, or are you going to express opinions about Trianon?
So, a synthesis of the sexy murder poets and the basically pleasant bureaucrats?
That the number is so small is a little disconcerting
Thank you, very kind of you to say that!
Next week's is, to balance things out, some (very late) Roman Republican gold...
Not sure if I think The Drama was a good film, or if a film involving a posh British curator in a complicated transatlantic relationship is worryingly closely targeted at me, specifically
Watched it now with as part of a set of 4 humanities postdocs, and one of our biggest laughs was when it was revealed that RP's character was a curator, at that age.
Includes a shout-out to @bretdevereaux.bsky.social 's latest post on the Carthaginian military, which I will be leaning on for teaching in the future.
(And to reply to your point, I think I saw the leading pair as older than you did, and so was imagining a purchase in the early to mid-90s)
Oh yeah, I fully see the inspiration, I was just disappointed I couldn't pin down the precise house used and this explained it
Not according to this? www.aol.com/inside-hot-l...
Looking it up, turns out the house and street in the film was entirely a set at Pinewood, so my attempt to pinpoint the exact house is doomed to failure
I find this intriguing - the couple read to me as essentially the same age (or at most 5 years younger) than my parents, and I feel that family friends in London in not dissimilar levels of jobs (higher civil service, doctors etc.) live in similar houses, having bought at just the right time.
Poems For Parliament Promoting voluntary, equitable Degrowth, for maximum wellbeing Menu +expandedcollapsed Events Tuesday 18 March 2025 at 16:00-17:30 GMT, Barbara Williams will be answering questions after the half-hour pre-recorded presentation ‘Paths to Paradigm Shift’ is played, see below. The workshop is hosted by the Schumacher Institute. If you wish to attend, please email
She has a pleasingly mad website poemsforparliament.uk/events/
Inspirational, really. You *can* post hard enough to attain immortality
This is where I travel back in time a decade to a precious incarnation of myself as I say "what will work for Birmingham is having *both* the high speed connection to central london *and* a Manchester-scale (and more) tram network"
What a beautiful, optimistic moment this is.
I think this is mad, because you're seeing views that almost no human has ever experienced, of the moon (bleakly beautiful), of the Earth in all its wonder and all the terrifying depth of space.
Yeah, it fell in 146 BC
Can't wait to discover which fan versions of minor background characters get canonized
This will have some consequences, I fear.
Presumably, a reasonably considerable portion of the staff and crew on the production (at various levels) read, and indeed wrote, HP fanfiction.
I just don't believe in their ability to do the dialogue, which is so central to adapting it well.
An actual use case for augmented reality would be museums offering up multiple levels of description for each object, which visitors can customise "I know nothing about Tang dynasty pottery, but I have been to multiple Monet exhibitions"
(If any megadonors are reading this, please give money to my employer to 1) do this kind of thing 2) create several endowed jobs in the Coin Room)
Obviously, and reasonably, most donors are not giving their money to ensure the staff coffee machine gets repaired in a reasonable length of time, but that kind of thing obviously does make a difference to the whole functioning of a place.
Yeah, probably the best way of doing this is just creating big endowment pot that goes towards your chosen museum's general spending. Just make every minor issue that needs fixing less constrained by cashflow.
