Our flight landed at Bradley just before midnight last night -- 25 1/2 hours after we left Christchurch. It was a great 19 days. The Summer Institute presentations went well, and we saw a lot of New Zealand.
Over the next week or so, I expect to be making posts about a few things that happened while I was away and a few about New Zealand.1 Here's a preview of what to expect:2
Over the next week or so, I expect to be making posts about a few things that happened while I was away and a few about New Zealand.1 Here's a preview of what to expect:2
- About New Zealand
- Invasive plants and animals
- National parks (Tongariro, Fjordlands, and Aoraki/Mt. Cook)
- The New Zealand landscape
- Obama and science
- Science journalism
- Public university finances

2Though not necessarily in this order. The non New Zealand topics may require more than one post apiece.
