		<title>Fieldwork in the Wash, the magic of S. spinulosa!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With my long standing collaborator Kim Last from SAMS and MSc student Harri Condie, we recently conducted a field trip to Sabellaria spinulosa habitats in the Wash. Sabellaria spinulosa is a polychaete worm that builds dwelling tubes out of suspended particles. As part of a project with Kim, funded by the Aggregate Levy, we are [...]]]></description>

Based in Menai Bridge, Anglesey, I will be continuing the same research strands that I have followed for several years, including projects into the ecology of deep sea, subtidal and intertidal habitats.

		<title>Maintaining turbidity and current flow in laboratory aquarium studies, a case study with Sabellaria spinulosa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Andrew J. Davies, Kim S. Last, Karl Attard, Vicki J. Hendrick

Many aquatic organisms rely on the suspension of particulate matter for food or for building materials, yet these conditions are difficult to replicate in laboratory mesocosms. Consequently, husbandry and experimental conditions may often be sub-optimal. The VOrtex Resuspension Tank (VORT) is a simple and reliable [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perl oneliner search and replace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just been working with my favourite language to change a space delimited file into a comma delimited file (CSV). With large files, even good file editors like JujuEdit take forever. For the first time I have actually crashed this program whilst searching and replacing a 250mb file. Maybe it&#8217;s me?!
To avoid this problem reoccuring, and because [...]]]></description>

		<title>WCMT: University of North Carolina Wilmington</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2nd September 2008 &#8211; 1st October 2008
I&#8217;m currently visiting the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I&#8217;ve only been to America once before, for a conference in Miami in 2005. I found the adjustment for that quite difficult. Yet, at Wilmington, it has a continental feel that has made my adjustment quite easy.
At UNCW, I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>
