Identified the apicoplast in 1996. Coasting ever since.
- Such a lovely meeting for science, community, and sweet location.

- “Every AI ever built has an electromagnetic shotgun wired to its forehead”. William Gibson in his multi-award-winning Neuromancer, 1984. Reread it 41 years on & there’s some spooky foresight by a remarkable future gazer. Fun part is he didn’t foresee wifi. People tote cables & dongles to ‘jack in’.
- It’s not every day that a Nobel Laureate drops in for an update on your lab’s work. Liz Blackburn co-discovered telomeres and still asks hard questions.
- Great opportunity
- Cool lab to work in
- Fibonacci would have loved Australian wildflowers.

- My time on Moku O Lo’e is almost at an end. The coral spawning was not very successful. Only three of our 40 colonies spawned. Anyway, had a gorgeous visit and the surf was epic for 2.5 weeks. Biggest waves I’ve ridden in years. And that tsunami evacuation night was one to remember.

- Touring the Pacific researching my book on the origin & evolution of Life. Last stop was in Palau 🇵🇼 to see this photosynthetic jellyfish in Ongeim'l Tketau seawater lake. They don’t sting and exist entirely through the food from their pink/brown algal symbionts. They swim to stay in the sunlight.
