Testemonial for UT brochure

I have been asked by the International Relations Office of University of Tartu to appear in a information brochure aiming at recruiting international students (will also be published online). Below is the testemonial I have submitted.
It was the legacy of Jakob von Uexküll (1864-1944) that brought me to Estonia, and the Tartu school of biosemiotics. My first visit took place in 2000 - the welcoming kindness of my hosts inspired me to return for conferences and eventually Ph.D. studies. Today I am involved in three research projects in Estonia, and I am happy to be part of a thriving and open intellectual environment.
