  • How do you do?
    I'm Jamie; a plant-obsessed, vegetarian, polyglot-ish student of natural sciences at Oxford who spends too much time listening to music and eating apples.


    penchants: forest walks, benjamin britten, mediaeval history & literature, eastern philosophy, obscure tea blends, copperplate, twilight by the sea, quantum mechanics, thunderstorms, fruit trees, early music, dragonflies, postcards, underground railways, gardening, vapour trails, tiny art galleries, volcanic islands, moths, Virginia Woolf, gin cocktails, travel journals, mountain air, handwriting, continental cinema, bow ties, Lebanese food, historical linguistics, archery, all things Icelandic, & bitter-sweet lemonade.
    Thank you for stopping by; do say hello.

    Later this year, Russian scientists should be in a position to extract the first water samples from 15,690 km2 Lake Vostok, situated 4,000 m under the Antarctic ice. The lake’s water is highly pressurised, tidal, magnetically anomalous, expected to be supersaturated with clathrates, and has been isolated for at least 15 million years. Ooh I can’t wait to see if they find any exciting biota!
