Dear Members of the BIOJOBS-List:
The past 10 years I have done (together with my respectable
peers) a fantastic research: A risk analysis leading to the
biocontrol of a forest weed by a fungus. I have written a
Thesis and many publications about this. I am, however, suffe-
ring from -don't frighten- the disabling disease multiple
sclerosis. But I still can see, walk, and talk reasonable; I
am able to 'work' a few hours a day at most. Recently, I have
been an external reader of a Canadian University. I like to do
some scientific work, or advicements and get in touch with
colleagues and students. I should like to start an aerobiology
list for instance. The only thing I ask for is a small finan-
cial consideration.
At the moment I am writing a kind of auto-bibliography, with
citations, requests for reprints, cuttings etc. with Cardbox,
and a Turbo-Pascal program for simulation of spore dispersal.
I have studied Plant Pathology, Plant Ecology, and computer
science at the Wageningen Agricultural University. My further
interests are: population biology of plants, salt marshes,
butterflies.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me. I like to receive e-
mail, and I will give you a prompt answer on your questions.
Virtually,
dr ir Meindert D. de Jong
