25.01.2022 Hello, we are a group of German researchers (Stefan Richter, Christoph Höpel andMarkus Gramssz) interested in Anaspides mountain shrimps from selected caves, surface streams and lakes or tarns. We hoped to be back again in Tasmania this year but because of obvious reason this will not be possible. We really hope that we can come next year. We are asking for the help of Tasmanian Field Naturalists or anyone else who goes bushwalking in remote areas of Tasmania. We are not wan...ting more collections (you need to have a permit for that), but simply asking for reports of observations and possibly photos of Anaspides; the reports (and photos) should include the name of the observation/ photographed site and/ or nearest locality, but preferably include map co-ordinates and even better still GPS co-ords with elevation. This is on-going work which forms part of a German-Australian research project between the University of Rostock and the Australian Museum looking into the distribution, morphological variation and genetic diversity of the protected Tasmanian Anaspides mountain shrimps. Amongst the particularly important areas for observations are: Wentworth Falls, Butlers gorge, West Coast Range, Walls of Jerusalem, Mt. Cripps, Vale of Belvoir, west of Lake St. Clair (eg, Mt. Rufus, Mt Byron), Cradle Mountain, Black Bluff Range and Frenchmans Cap. If you like to hear more details about our research, recently published literature and contact email addresses (in Germany and Australia), please write me on Facebook/Messenger.

11.01.2022 Maki is asking for recommendations! Do you listen to any interesting food oriented podcasts? Please look through that I’m looking for and *not* looking for firs...t! Things I am looking for: - Discussions about social/political issues and food - Food history! Yes! - Food policies, agricultural policies etc. - Highlighting lesser known or less publicized cuisines Things I am **NOT** looking for: - restaurant reviews - recipes or like call in questions about I want to make egg drop soup but what can I use instead of eggs - cookbook marketing unless it fits the looking for criteria (lesser known cuisine etc) A handful of food podcasts I have listened to and liked off and on - The Sporkful - Racist Sandwich - The Splendid Table - Mother Jones Bites Not US based ones a big plus! (Nothing against US podcasts, it’s just that they dominate such lists.) English preferred, or Japanese of course, but French or German are ok too.
