I'm Going to GERMANY!!!

YAY!!! my presentation just got accepted!!! I'm really happy, my second international talk is coming and possibly my first peer reviewed paper... :D

My presentation is called Could a different management approach recover the Japanese sardine stock from depletion? and I'm going to present it at the ICES/PICES/UNCOVER Symposium 2009 on Rebuilding Depleted Fish Stocks - Biology, Ecology, Social Science and Management Strategies which will take place in Rostock-Warnemünde, Germany in early November.

I promise I'll post some pictures.

Not writing blogs, writing thesis

I know I haven't been writing much, but lately I've been dedicating my time (almost) exclusively to my masters thesis. Things are going well although deadlines are now uncomfortably close so I guess I need to hurry up.

The title of my thesis is Exploring effective management strategies to recover the Japanese sardine stock from depletion, and it should be done by the end of this month (the deadline for the first draft is July 7th!!!).

I'll let you know how things go.
