Bye Santa Cruz and auf wiedersehen?
I have taken a leave of absence from UC Santa Cruz. My girlfriend Yiming fell ill a few weeks ago and to help her with a speedy and full recovery I am now staying with her in Kiel, Germany where she has a postdoc position. For the time being I am looking for funding or a position to continue my research in Kiel. I may come back to Santa Cruz this summer for a few weeks to do some sampling.
The day before leaving Santa Cruz I went for a walk in the university aboretum taking pictures of wildlife and flowers. The most exciting moment of the day was when I saw a bobcat.
