Please edit as you see fit: shorter is always better! By the way, if you want the correct pronunciation of my name (I’m not particular about it, so don’t worry unless you want to), it’s yur-AHM BAUW-min; my first name rhymes with “your MOM” or “dot COM”. (Sadly, the domain name is already taken.) Also, as long as we’re being pedantic, my official title is not Professor; the easiest thing to say is that I’m an environmental economist, but if you really want a fancy title then go with Dr. Bauman.
