Fiona, Dan, Charles and members of the list,
Thank you so much for your responses. I'm excited and grateful for all
the resources you are sharing with me. I'm taking a deep look to all
your recommendations. These past days have been very estimulating and
enriching to my thesis process.
Thanks for sharing!
Best regards,
