Good moring everyone !
i am a new member in this forum.
so i want to keep touch with every one who research the eddy covariance
technology.
thank you everybody!

Hi there,

I am a PhD trained computer scientist with 4 years post-doctoral
experience. My current field is Systems Biology - applying
computational modelling to understanding biological systems. I also
have a variety of more mundane technical skills including systems and
database administration, web development and so on.

Although I find Systems Biology reasonably fulfilling, my personal
convictions are making me more and more interested in a move to a job
based on protecting the environment. Maybe this sounds like
tree-hugging, but I just think that saving our planet is more important
than any other science at the moment.

To some extent, I don't really care what kind of job it is. I know I'll
probably have to take a big pay-cut and that isn't a problem as long as
I can still find a living wage. If at all possible, I would also prefer
the job to be in Scotland, as I currently live in Glasgow.

The innocent humans shall live on, building bright beautiful
civilisations in harmony with nature, and working to restore nature.
