It seems like a good place to start.
Welcome to our website, hopefully detailing our activities as we fundraise and prepare for hosting Progressive Palaeontology. Prog Pal is a postgraduate conference in palaeontology. It’s a part of The Palaeontological Association, and runs each year as a venue for postgraduate researchers to present their work in a semi formal environment to their peers. There are three of us here in the University of Manchester studying various aspects of palaeontology, and we are the brave (or foolish) people who have the task of bringing Prog Pal to Manchester. As way of an introduction, we are:
Karl Bates: PhD student working on biomechanics of dinosaurs.
James Jepson: PhD student working on the Neuropterida of the Purbeck and Wealden.
And myself, Peter Falkingham: working on dinosaur tracks and finite element analysis.
All three of us will be adding to this page as we go along, to act as a source of information for others who are planning on hosting a conference. This blog will be available generally online, but also through the Manchester University careers service.
Our next update will be coming soon, and will detail what we’ve accomplished already in the last few months.
Peter.
