The title of the blog represents my irrational fascination with the common dogwhelk, Nucella lapillus,
and as an erstwhile Biology teacher, my long history of introducing the
delights of fieldwork to generations of students. This blog features my
thoughts about science stuff.
Freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds, which follows from the advance of science.
Charles Darwin 1809-1882
