By Laura Ranieri Tell el Amarna is a remote desert outpost in the centre of Egypt between Cairo and Luxor on the east bank of the River Nile. Arriving here is like landing on the moon – a desolate and vast expanse of hills and red, cratered sand. There is little human settlement for miles, save a

Road Ecology in Presqu'ile Provincial Park

Back in the lab – trying to make heads or tails of it all.
After three days of successful fieldwork on the chilly Grand Rapids Uplands, we return – toting a fresh batch of fossils – to The Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg. This is the home turf of my colleague, Graham Young, and almost a second home for me. Graham’s lab in the Museum’s Geology and
The secret of Oesia: a Burgess Shale mystery, by Karma Nanglu
My name is Karma Nanglu and I’m a PhD student at the University of Toronto, but on a day-to-day basis I do my research at the Royal Ontario Museum. I’ve recently co-authored a research paper, Cambrian suspension-feeding tubicolous hemichordates, with Jean-Bernard Caron, Curator, Invertebrate
