"A word cloud is worth a thousand words"

Confucius

Hold on... I doubt Confucius ever said that...

Anyway, as the word cloud says I'm a marine ecologist interested in using seabirds, especially penguins as eco-indicators of the changing polar environments for conservation purposes. But don't categorize me too quickly: I also like to do ecophysiological studies, work on non polar species and even talk to mathematicians...
