Hello! Introduce yourselves here...we may or may not have met on the larger Helium boards.

I'm Alicia, I have a PhD in Experimental Pathology. My dissertation involved genetics research and I have taught grad school pathology courses. I now edit scientific manuscripts and dissertations full-time.

I have broad interests in all of the sciences, and am most fascinated by what I don't know!

Hi,

I am Jennifer Allsbrook!  I am a high school biology teacher who has a passion for the life sciences.  I have a Masters of Life Science from the University of Maryland.  I've been teaching for 16 years.  I love to learn and take every opportunity to read and write about science.  I have been a member of Helium since the summer of '08.  My future aspirations include writing some children's science books and my own biology textbook.  I would also like to go back to school to earn a PhD in molecular biology.  I particularly enjoy researching molecular genetics topics, metabolism, and signal transduction pathways.

Jennifer

er, becky from dorset here again, accidently hit the send button before i'd finished my intro.

to continue...

I'm currently working as a typesetter of scientific journals and books, but looking for something a bit more hands on since getting my degree.

looking forward to some topical discussions in this group - my interests are mainly in environmental issues, but also geology, local natural history, gardening /home produced food, vegetarianism, parenthood etc

anyway, I expect you're all busy watching some historic moments unfolding in Washington right now, it's about time! Let's hope he lives up to expectations.

speak soon,

Becky

Hi, my name is Martin Bell, and I have a Master of Science in Microelectronics & Microcomputing, and a Batchelor of Science in Chemical Engineering.

 

I have only started writing for Helium recently (November '08).

Hi all, I'm Jim Bessey from upstate NY, near Rochester.

I'm not a scientist, nor do I hold any advanced degrees. But I love science, and subscribe to Discover Magazine to try to keep abreast of what's happening in all sorts of scientific venues.

I'm fascinated by astrophysics, particle physics, neuroscience, imaging technology (Rochester is the home of Eastman Kodak), and behavioral science. Not that I know much about any of these, but I do understand most of what I read about these fields.

I'll be over here... (a Jay London reference, probably overly obscure, sorry)

Hello,

I'm Eric. I used to work in a lab that studied protein and DNA. I digitized gels which had protein spots on them and studied the pictures, and fixed the computers. I'm also interested in Astronomy and space travel. Funny most of my articles have been on other stuff.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Engineering Physics from the University of Michigan. That is a bit odd, and makes it hard to get a job, but I may work on batteriers in the future. I also did ok in my "Dismal Science" - a.k.a. Economics - classes, and some of my articles have been on that topic.

Hi all. I'm John McDevitt aka McD. Once upon a time (before I hung up my T-square and retired from architecture) I spent most of my professional career working with scientists, doctors, etc. I was the project architect for building 49 (I think I have that right) at the NIH campus in Bethesda.

Did a lot of buildings for big pharma, biotech, the government. My first project as a young architect was on the team designing and building Boehringer -Ingelheim's first production facility in the US. Then lots of labs, animal research facilities, etc.

I finished my career with an almost 11 year stint at Thomas Jefferson University in Phila. as a Project manager / architect in facilities design and construction. Translation: I did a lot of lab renovations, medical practice offices, classrooms.

So, I'm not a a scientist. I once told a Chairman of one of the medical colleges that I was a building doctor. LOL
