Manuscrito #176:
Proponรญa la escritura de una novela basada en su tesis doctoral, titulada "Caracterizaciรณn molecular, fisiolรณgica y ecolรณgica de comunidades microbianas extremรณfilas en ambientes hipersalinos: Implicaciones en la biorremediaciรณn de contaminantes y su potencial aplicaciรณn".
Once again finding the Philosophy Journal Information Project really useful in deciding where to publish. (Now expanded for scholars in non-philosophy fields too!)
Good on Sam Andrews for setting up such a great service to the academic community, and APA for funding it.
