Services and Consulting for the Life and Earth Sciences, and Chemistry

For more than 20 years, I am working in various scientific fields, especially life science, earth science, chemistry, and media and text development in eLearning. Limited by the time constraints of a full-time academic teaching job, I am available for a broad palette of scientific services and consulting for projects that catch my interest. These include consulting in the design and execution of field and laboratory studies (botanical and faunistic), consulting in data analysis and statistical evaluation, and advice for oral presentations, posters and printed or online publications. I also offer support for pre-study investigations and retrieval, knowledge extraction and data mining, and the preparation of exposés and reports.
