I'm working at a big pharmaceutical company right now, doing something scientific-like. I still do a bit of perl coding so now and than, but not as much as before. That's why you won't see me hanging around here as much a I did before.

I was PhD student at the physiology department of Leiden University. (PhD finished now) Topic of research: the mammalian biological clock (of daily rhythms). Methods: electrophysiological measurements.

uses perl for: fun; data handling/ extraction/ analysis; bibliographical management; linux management

links perl with: apache, php3, postgres

likes (apart from perl): linux, mac's, guitars (both in music and in hardware ;-), science-fiction
