Hi

Just a brief intro/bio.

Aged 68.5yo but mentally still a (responsible) teenager - that may be an oxymoron..

Interests: Astronomy, Cosmology, Spectroscopy, solar dynamics and anything Physics and maths related. Beyond that, add any other form of science and for more fun, I design, build and fly model aircraft and occasionally ride motorcycles.

My background was 44 years working in IT, initially development then for the last 20 years as a Consultant and IT Architect.

I was a STEM Ambassador but resigned as I am now almost totally deaf. As I have been asked to assist with the planning of a school's science curriculum, I may as well get myself reinstated.

Looking forward to contributing or asking some dumb questions.

Martyn.

Welcome.
 
Thank you. I'll take a look
 
Hello there, and nice to meet all of you! My name is Olga, I am from Russia. I have a PhD in laser physics, and I work at the local university. I study chalcogenide lasers. I am a pure experimentalist, and I love working with my hands, et cetera, and I do math only when I have to. Sometimes I work with biologists. I do nothing exciting in research, and after my defence, I hardly can call myself a scientist because we have a lack of financial support, and most of my time I spend on teaching...
