CURRENT MISSION

Doing a postdoc in Biology...

ABOUT ME

All? That's gonna be tricky, you better find out on your own.
Well, as a non exhaustive list, there's enthusiasm, directness, adventure, curiosity, contradiction, a pinch of madness and absurdity.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living my first storm (and trip by the way) on a sailing boat close to Cap Creus (Spain).
Sitting on a roof with entire Paris (France) underneath.
The first time I saw the sea when I was about 3 (Baleares, Spain).
During a hichhiking trip from France to Greece and back, sleeping on a pontoon in front of the Pasetos in Ancona, waking up in the morning and being greeted by an old Italian fisherman with coffee and fresh mussels.
Writing a internship report in Latin.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hm... I can teach you German, French, English, being some help with Spanish. Apparently I'm also a correct cook (but I never use recipes), I can show you some basic drawing/painting techniques, and I can spend hours telling you how a living cell works and marveling at things like DNA and quarks. I'd enjoy playing music with you! I can also show you around the towns and places I know...
