CV: Here’s an up-to-date PDF of my long-version CV: Christian Kull CV (this link downloads a PDF from Google Docs – it’s a little slow to load, be patient)

It’s quite eery as I knew a Christian Kull in the early eighties doing Botany at UTC, University of Cape Town South Africa. Charming guy with a face, well as far as I can remember (and I like to think I never forget a face….or a name for that matter) almost exactly the same as yours.
Am I living a kind of warped punarjanm or are you?
Truly mysterious! I have no reall explanation for this. Thought I should mention it anyway.
I’ll have to search out my Doppelgänger some day… perhaps that explains my drift towards botanic topics! Best wishes.
Dear Christian.
Thanks for appreciating and subscribing to the ME Global Chronicle.
I noticed you wrote a blog about ME/CFS, last month.
Am I allowed to include it in the December 2024-issue of the ME Global Chronicle (of course mentioning its source)?
I’d appreciate if you’d let me know here or at my personal emailadress karenrssb1@hotmail.com.
Best,
