    so, my awesome-science-teacher story: My general chem prof, who was one of the most popular chem teachers, always hard to get in his classes- was this totally awesome middle-aged short British guy. loved the accent. one day he wore a shirt with the periodic table on it. He shut off the lights, and the radioactive elements glowed. :happy:

    Lemme' see if I get this picture correct.

    You're chem teacher was illuminating the bottom middle of his display? :embarassed:

    His shirt was glow-in-the-dark.

    Lol, I have no idea what to post here. I just signed up and apparently people do better when they connect with people on these sites. Anyway, if you like to talk science (anything but chemistry) we should chat :D

    hahaha..... I'm a chemist so I'm out! ;)

    And there's nothing wrong with chemists, my best friend is a chemistry major, its just so much harder than any other science (that I've taken)((which isnt an impressive amount)) So, I applaud you chemists, but secretly, im jealous

    Where are you getting your MS in genetics?

    not quoted, so I'm not sure if this is my question, though it applies, so I am at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. I applied for their PhD program (might go towards pharmacology), and I also have a job interview to work at a lab at UVA studying motor nerve regeneration. so we'll see how it goes :)

    Are you sure you aren't a clone of me? I love science on all scales but chemical. Cellular is great, atomic is great, chemical is BLEH. :flowerforyou:

    Oh, obviously a science nerd. My profile pictures are full of my microscopy.

    is that top left picture.......myelinated axons? :drinker: I've spent a lot of time counting images like that recently.


    Actually, LabRat's picture has neurons. My images are all of the same slide at different magnifications. It's actually a cross-section of a testis. Seminiferous tubules are beautiful, no?

    haha totally :)

    trololol, thank you PU, I couldn't get it to post the picture. I somehow always manage to attach that to a presentation I give in science classes. One of the better webcomics

    I'm a biologist, and probably old enough to be your mom....just a bio/geek none the less! I was a wetland ecologist for 20 years until I was layed off and now I'm loving my new job...geospatial analyst. Feel free to add me, as I'm on each day tracking away.

    YAAAYYYY I lurrvvv science! I teach my 7th graders all about it....my goal is to turn them all into science geeks! They are so good at asking questions. They aren't aftraid of anything. Hopefully I can help them learn how to find the answers in ways other than just an Internet search...and our Science Olympiad tournament is tomorrow....
