TIA, bru!
0035 of the 04/04/200 I was sitting at the 25A seat of the STP Airways taking off to Sao Tome (ST). I don’t understand why they feed us 2 courses within 5 hours when we are flying over night and what I really wanted to do was SLEEP, NOT EAT! Landed ST at 0634 with [...]

Suit and tie …

And then maybe not) at meetings because I dress very casual, I’ve attended a number of high profiled meetings wearing me trainers and in the Caribbean I went in with flip-flops even! This time however, things seem to be changing. I’ve been advised [...]
Sao Tome and Principe (part II)
I’ve returned from Sao Tome and Principe (STP) last Thursday, where I gave a presentation at a conference about Biodiversity and Ecotourism. The title I presented was “The non-lethal use of Cetaceans – a multidisciplinary perspective”. It basically covered the uses cetaceans can withstand nowadays (whaling is not one of them), recommendations to the STP’s [...]
Cetaceans and current trends
This was an unexpected invitation. To give a lecture at my former High School on my work about cetaceans. The title of the venue was “A escola convida” (School Invitational). For sure that I was very flattered and honoured by such call. Some of my former teachers were present which gave a nice touch to [...]
