Feature on Moldova-born Ph.D. currently working in Maryland

Scitizen.com recently published a feature on Lilian Pintea, a Moldova-born Ph.D. (University of Minnesota) who currently works in Maryland.

An excerpt:
"You could say that Lilian, who is 38, has already lived through two democratic revolutions. A native of Moldova, he was studying ecology in Moscow when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. He subsequently came to the U.S. as a Fulbright scholar and earned a PhD in conservation biology from the University of Minnesota. As a specialist in geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing, he has watched technology that was once reserved for elites in the developed world spread to the rest of the world, including remote villages in the global south."
