Hi everyone,
Just decided to give this whole mastodon a chance. I come from the land which everyone seems to forget, Belgium. My hobbies include playing mahjong -despite not being very good at it-, coding more specifically anything to do with p2p software and networking and recently dipping my toes in freebsd. Excited to meet you all! Hope to find some more nerdy people, learn a ton and maybe play some matches!

The #dodo #Raphus #cucullatus (#Columbidae), lived on #Mauritius and was discovered during a Dutch expedition in 1598. This #flightless, ground-nesting #bird #diedout by 1690 due to introduced #predators, as it lacked #defensivebehavior. A research project aims to #recreate it based on its and the #genome of its closest living relative. D. Angst et al. (2017) found #ecological aspects from #bonehistology studies.
