Friday is Presentation Day

Rod Page, an alumn Phd student of Auckland University, gave a talk on "The Death of Taxonomy" today. He was a good speaker, and the talk was interesting, but it sounded a little familiar to me (I listened to a similar talk at the Evolution Conference a few weeks ago).
Afterwards, a lively discussion ensued - some people got into an argument, and it was really quite funny for everyone but those arguing :)

Marcel got a job offer from the cow-killing company in the (e)mail today. He wouldn't tell us the exact figure, but I understand the salary is more than he makes now (as the IT guy in Thomson Building). He is pretty sure about taking the offer. Congrats!
