Thanks for the mention Amygdala. Under the bit about 'zombie nutritionist recommends all brain diet'. Obviously.

Donation thanks: Matt from the brilliant Hairy Museum of Natural History, Jim Moore, Donald Simmons, Martin Hafner. Every time a donation comes in I get more convinced than ever that there is a huge appetite to see a replica Beagle afloat and become ever more encouraged that we're going to do it. As Stephen Jay Gould said, science at its best is international and collaborative. The donations have come in from the UK, France, Germany, the USA, the Galapagos, Brazil. The public are increasingly stepping up to help us: they want to see a replica Beagle launched in 2009.
