@djflaspo @mturesearch @LynnMazzoleni Go my Collins Bird Guide, and Nikons. I haven't seen anything exotic, but even common birds are new!

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni Thanks and godnatt!

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni In my case, it was to get out of my "comfort zone" and explore new language, culture, and people.

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni If we make the goopy black bio-oil into nice clear fuel we'll have done something.

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni New technologies, long-term relationships, broader perspectives, and new energy will help a lot!

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @LynnMazzoleni @djflaspo The 6 hour delay w/ the US, and sometimes things are "lost in translation"!

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch is this an urban sample?

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @LynnMazzoleni @djflaspo Really encourage other MTU faculty to look at a Fulbright experience. A great way to use a sabbatical

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @LynnMazzoleni @djflaspo The Fulbright program has dimensions besides great research, the cultural interactions are awesome.

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni Thanks to US embassy Sweden @usembassysweden and @FulbrightPrgrm for reception with US Nobel winners

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni No pictures during the ceremony though.

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni The coolest was the Nobel prize ceremonies, and a reception w/ the US winners!

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni I'm doing research on renewable fuels from wood and pulp/paper wastes. Sweden is a world leader.

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni Biofuels are huge in Sweden, great opportunities for collaboration in chemistry and forestry guys,

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni If any of the bioproducts folks at MTU are listening in, I may need some input!

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni Have a concept paper on biofuel production due on Friday to DOE on use of lignin for fuel + chemicals.

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni Also just a little snow at Chalmers University, but not like Houghton.

[Michael E. Mullins @Mic_Mul]

@mturesearch @djflaspo @LynnMazzoleni It's only 27 degrees here in Southern Sweden, but a beautiful full moon.
