I am just wondering where you go to school/work and what field you are in if you are a research scientist.

I will start:

At UCLA as student. Will be at UNM for the summer. - Materials Science & Engineering research.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I am at UNM right now, pure math major. Hopefully this summer I will be doing an REU, but I am not holding my breath :smile:
 
I'm sitting at a computer right now.

I couldn't help it.

I work as an orbital analyst.

Darn it, Bob beat me to it! :smile:

I work in the field of reproductive physiology/neuroendocrinology. Now say that 10 times fast. :biggrin:
 
I got an AAS in Envelope Licking. I'm now going for my BS in Envelope Licking with a minor in Stamp Licking and Gift Wrapping at the City College of New York.
I've got a really good internship. But the REUs in my field arent that great :(

Yeah, once they went with self-stick stamps, an awful lot of stamp lickers were put out of work. A real pity.
 
Researching towards a post-midlife-crisis-PhD in Bangkok, Thailand.
