What's your area and level of expertise?

DavidMcC

I'm a physicist with a specialism in thin film optics and thin film processes. I have a keen amateur interest in biology and evolution, especially optics in biology!
I only have a BA(Hons) in physics, but a lot of experience of cross-disciplinary science.

cpman

I'm just going in to high school, but know a lot about physics, astronomy, and botany!!
(I am planning to get a PhD in physics)

I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to actual nitty-gritty science but I plan to change that in college. :) my interest lies in anything having to do with transhumanism. I find cryonics, along with suspended animation to be incredibly intriguing. I'm also interested in studies about intelligence and communication.

That Neuron

I am currently in High School, but I would like to venture into Physics, Math and Biochemistry (Possibly Neuroscience) in College, Lot of interests, but since they all are closely related It should be like learning one subject.

misteplix

Marine Biology degree, i´ve been worked on phylogenetics and evolutionary genetics, molecular biology, ecology of marine mammals, turtles and rodents (desert mice and squirrels) also making fossil replicas for a museum and for this days i get into biophotonics on optical tweezers and microfluidics devices

I'm a veterinary technician. I made this choice because I had a passion for helping animals. At the beginning working with animals was just a fun, but later I realize that the tasks of a veterinary technician demands skillful training and dedication in addition to the love for animals. The tasks of a veterinary technician varies based on their training and expertise as discussed in the article http://onlineveterinarytechniciansch...eers-and-jobs/. However mostly all veterinary technicians perform all kinds of work within the veterinarian’s office or in the laboratory, under the supervision of a veterinarian. Because I'm an expert in this field, I'm also assigned with the work of communicating with the pet owners and suggesting them with healthy pet care habits.

Am I going crazy, or did this used to be a sticky? Sorry exam block, its like living in the matrix :P

mishrashubham

Yes it was sticky up until recently.

Someone was messing with the thread, but they fixed it.

JorgeLobo

PhD Microbiology/Mycology. Applied and environmental microbiology and science policy.

LozzaBourke

Double degree in Science/Science (Zoology, Chem and Maths) PhD in Zoology - Research on seasonal hormone changes in Elapidae. Areas of speciality include herpetology and arachnology. Also interested in medicinal chemistry and mechanics/dynamics

penta-d

I did a BS in biochem, PhD in microbiology with coursework in public health. I'd say that the area I know best is molecular biology, the area I enjoy most is biostats/epidemiology.

mcl

BSc in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Currently working as an engineer while doing parttime law school (LLB) /communications major.

Experience with biomedical imaging and co-author of a journal article in Canadian Journal of Cardiology.

And created multiple free grade 12 biology iphone apps. Just search the appstore and the apps usually would come up on the first page.

I also have tutored high school biology before.

Darwin123

I have a PhD in physics. My thesis was on lasers and solid state physics. I took
organic chemistry as an undergraduate.
When I started working, I did research related to biology. I developed a new
way to detect and quantify certain microorganisms. I used an optical
method of analytical chemistry. I applied my training mostly to biological materials.
My pastime is natural history. I was docent for a few years at a public aquarium.
I watch "River Monsters" all the time. I have an obsession with biological evolution. I
have read a lot about biological evolution. I collect fossils. I am member of a
paleontology club at a nearby museum. I volunteer weekly at that museum, organizing
a collection of whale skeletons. I have also helped them organize a leaf collection.
I took a six week course on paleontology for museum docents.
I am not a professional biologist. However, my pastime has been aided quite a
bit by my formal education. I have a very good idea of the physical principles behind
biology. I do not claim to be a professional biologists. However, I believe my background
and interest in biology is as stronger than most undergraduate biologists. My
understanding of physics leads me to think of things slightly different from most
biologists. I hope that is enough background in biology for this forum.

RabbitWho

First year undergraduate in Psychology. No expertise whatsoever.

I have a degree in something silly (Art and Design) and now I'm trying to get a proper one in something less silly. This time I have to work my way through it so it will take a long time.

mishrashubham

I wouldn't call that silly. I would major in art and design if not for science.

RabbitWho

You might call it silly if you'd done it! It was what I wanted to do at the time so I shouldn't regret it heh.
