I am a Vertebrate Palaeontologist by training, specialising in Australian bird fossils from the recent past. My PhD research was on Pleistocene bird fossils from the Thylacoleo Caves beneath the Nullarbor Plain, and included the discovery of several new extinct species. These days I work primarily in conservation, where I try to prevent living species from becoming tomorrow's fossil species.
