Im a chemical engineer by education and environmental engineer by trade0

I got my degree in ocean engineering and am working as an environmental engineer (cleaning up nasty stuff). I love science and anything that makes me think.
Great group!0 -
Hi! Got my PhD in pharmacology from Johns Hopkins in 2008. Currently managing intellectual property for a National Cancer Institute contractor.0

Hmm im so used to using the umbrella term 'environmental' around the lay person - should probably specify since there is more common understanding in this group.
I'm in water resources, specifically storm water and drainage management0 -
Ya, its weird when you can actually tell people what you do! Nobody ever understands my field (Microbiology). They always respond with "Oh! You work with bugs!" *Cringe*0

Yeah, when I have to tell someone what I do, it can turn in to a long answer because there are so many sections of environmental engineering.0

Hi all. I'm in the 2nd year of my PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics!0

Haha, I have many of those moments from grad school. "What are you studying?" "Pharmacology." "Oh, so you're going to be a pharmacist?" *cringe*
Sometimes I wish I HAD gone to pharmacy school...I'd be making a heck of a lot more money!0 -
Just finished grad school to find out I will be making the same amount of money as I was getting as a student. *Tear* Sometimes I wish that I chose engineering and could be making a good chunk of money already.0

Student loans are evil. They negate the $$$.0 -

Hi! I'm Margaret. I'm a vertebrate paleontologist. I work on the evolution of carnivores over the last 20 million years primarily in Africa. I've also done some work on primate and human evolution.0

Hi fellow lab-rats, I'm Berry. I'm a science and technology journalist, so a bit of a jack of all trades and master of none!0

Whoa. That is AWESOME!!!!0 -
Hi everyone! Lovely to see so many members already
I'm a biochemist undergraduate who just got back from noddy undergraduate lab practicals and has meaningful results. Yay!Ya, its weird when you can actually tell people what you do! Nobody ever understands my field (Microbiology). They always respond with "Oh! You work with bugs!" *Cringe*
So what do you look at in the field?I guess I was working with "bugs" today.
Standard stuff: messing around with the lac repressor in E. coli.

I'm Atticus, and I'm a lover not a practitioner.
I've been a fan of science fiction all of my life, and although things like Star Wars are entertaining, it's the serious stuff that really gets me going.
I have an interest in technology in general, and a particular liking for all things astrophysical and the quantum world. It confuses the hell out of me but it's like being hit in the mind with the logic equivalent of a pure Vodka0 -
This is so cool
I'm another pharmacologist. I specialize in neuron cell death and am currently at the University of Southern California working on an Alzheimer's project.0 -

I'm really sorry to hear that. It's so hard to watch the slow decline of someone you love! Thank you for your well-wishes. I could certainly use a good supply of grant money. Funding is so tight right now.0
