This user was, until July 2007, a curator in Botany in the Ulster Museum, Belfast, Northern Ireland. His main interest was in the algae, however he was also interested in lichens and birds. He intended to read the Tutorial some time! but it is a long job!
Why study algae? "To be useless, various and abstruse is a sufficient recommendation of a science to make it pleasing to me." (- Harvey, W.H. in reference to algology as noted in Fisher, L. 1869. Memoir of W.H.Harvey.).
Favourite words: schadenfreude; obfuscation.
It has been said that I am a "hyperpedant". Previous usernemes: Osborne; Gigartina.
