| Occupation | Macroevolutionary Palaeobiologist |
| Location | Nodnol, United Kingdom |
| Introduction | Currently I am founding member, president elect and entire membership of SWEMP (the Society of Wonky-Eyed Macroevolutionary Palaeobiologists). In my spare time I get paid to do research on very dead organisms and think about the really big questions in life, such as: What is the ultimate nature of reality? Why is there no room for free will in science? and What are the implications of having a wardrobe that consists entirely of hotpants? |

Lionesses have no manes. How do they know when they've grown up?
The ones with manes want to mate with them.
