I am a passionate scientist with management experience in both academic and commercial organisations
In the menu on the right, you can find a number of pages about me and my stuff on the internet. In the "Subjects" block you can find the subjects of some of my "blog" postings, which include both simple encounters in the wild as musings that guide the way I work and live.
