A Fish With a Big Bang
Fossils provide a direct record of the great ancestry and amazing evolutionary transformations of life on Earth. Such transformations occurred across unfathomable timescales of millions to hundreds of millions of years or more. Perhaps one of the most remarkable stories of such transformations
Sloth Life
It’s no secret that sloths basically took over the internet in recent years after a series of adorable YouTube videos, listicles, and Kristen Bell’s infamous meltdown over her slothy Birthday gift. From the photobombing sloth to the Mona Lisa sloth, they were everywhere! Before another cuddly

The Monastery of St Moses, Syria: The Cave Survey
The first field-walks took place in 2004, but recorded survey of the area began in 2005 with a rapid series of transects across the catchment of the valley. Some of the caves were clearly situated in locations which were now difficult to get to, and I rather suspected that if I did not have a
