One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer 1994, climbing up the Camlica hill on the Asian side of Istanbul. Passing by two old women, dressed in long coats and scarves, shepherding a flock of sheep. Under the coat the other woman was wearing a t-shirt: Motörhead!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have degrees in ecology and math. However, I just suck in traditional trivia-style biology (names of plants and all kinds of critters). Also I know basic music theory & guitar playing, and how to mix some classic cocktails.

Well, I'd be happy to take you out for a dinner. Or cook one.
