This page gives you a look into the ‘real job’ side of my world.  Here you can download the pdf files of some of my research articles that have been published in scientific journals. Like most scientific articles, they are full of information and a sure cure for insomnia. These and many other articles by others put a lot of the meat into Fisherman's Coast.
