Hi there! Welcome.
I am an independent researcher and author.

I am thinking about:

nature | ||
| evidence of an
insect apocalypse in Australia | ||
| how to estimate clade phylogenetic diversity | ||
| comparative crustacean neuroanatomy |
and writing on
| natural processes and the anthropocene | |
| my love of the natural environment |
and I provide web support

I am
| a nature lover and bird nerd | |

I have worked as a
| a biodiversity-informatician | |
| a numerical analyst and modeller | |
| a boffin | |
| software engineer | |
| an IT specialist and manager |
I have undertaken research in
| + | systematics (taxonomy and phylogeny) |
| comparative neuroanatomy | |
| + | ethology and cognition |
| + | sensory biology and psychology |
Professionally, I have
| led research teams | |

MY NAME
Before we were married I was Garry Rogers.
My wife to be was Cynthia Jolley.
We hyphenated because it was just too good an opportunity to pass up - so we are now Cynthia and Garry Jolley-Rogers. When we met, Cynthia was working as Assistant Stage Manager on a production of Gilbert and Sullivans “Pirates of Penzance”.
Right now, I am following my own star.
| + | An acquired brain injury forced a necessary break in my career and a re-evaluation of my goals. |

Nature-Pres
Abstract This sample project demonstrates a workflow using the Quarto scientific publishing system run using the Scrivener Compiler. Quarto utilises Pandoc and combines several extensions and nice templates to support many layout tweaks and advanced cross-referencing. Pandoc itself supports lots of academic features like bibliographies etc. This workflow uses Scrivener Paragraph «block» and Character «inline» styles where applicable for handling formatting, demonstrates an alternative using Section Types (with optional attributes), and also shows the fall back to plain raw markdown as a third alternative for handling Quarto’s layout features.
