From QERM Wiki

a picture of Viikki taken with my new Nokia telephone.

There I am, looking as finnish as i possibly can in front of my extremely charming building. Some things don't change too much.

I joined the update-exhorting Great and obtained a PhD. Woohoo!

I am at the moment postdoc'ing (postdocking?, postdoccing?, post-doctoring?) at the University of Helsinki, Finland, with a group that styles itself the Metapopulation Research Group, which is kind of like a grown-up's version of QERM.

Except I share an office, which is a step down from lovely Loew hall, and I miss my little fold out foam "napper", especially in the hour or two after having a hearty, compulsory, hour-long lunch at the Gardenia lunch restaurant, which, for example, today prominently featured a sort of baked potato, onion, butter, cream and fish dish, spicy tomato soup and lingonberries on black bread. Yes, right now I am missing my little mattress very much. Thankfully in about 15 minutes the no less compulsory coffee break is about to happen.

Oh, and in whatever time is left over in the 35 hour compulsory workweek after lunch and coffee and daydreaming about mattresses, I do something related to modeling and animal movement. But I'm not really sure what.
