Email posting test
21 July 2010. IVPP, Beijing, China.
In preparation for on-the-road blogging, we are testing the email-post
method of publishing blog posts. This allows us to travel without a
dedicated laptop and internet connection, and enables us to post updates
through a portal at any internet cafe along our journey.

Good news for the upcoming season
21 July 2010. IVPP, Beijing.
We were informed this morning by the Tibet Autonomous Region's Science and Technology office that our permit application for scientific research in Tibet has been approved by the foreign affairs office. This means we will be able to travel through Tibet and revisit Zhada Basin after a two-year hiatus by the LACM crew.
To celebrate the re-opening of the region to paleontological research, I went out and cut off my ponytails. A "normal" looking haircut will likely help the team avoid unnecessary attention on the road and at military checkpoints.
A small price to pay for another chance to walk along the magnificent Himalayan foothills.
Onward to the plateau!
