Welcome

Welcome to Zygoma. This is my personal blog and the views expressed here are not those of my employer (the Horniman Museum), they are mine and solely mine.

The disclaimer out of the way, I hope you enjoy my mystery object on Fridays and my occasional thoughts on a variety of scientific, sceptical and museological subjects.
