Hello,
I'm a grey-haired grandmother who is fascinated by all areas of science, and too old to have had college as an option. Therefore, I am predominantly self-taught and will make glaringly stupid mistakes.

I'm here to learn, ask questions, and pursue some of the avenues of thought that burn in my mind.

I'm in the health care field, so anatomy and medicine always interest me, but I am fascinated by neurophysics, quantum anomalies, geology, geophysics, biology and philosophic discourse on just about anything.

I just discovered this forum and reading the back threads has been SmartWater for a parched mind. Thank you one and all.

Greetings,

My name is ________. No, I will not tell you that much, but I am 16 years old and a physics nerd. I attend a local college and will transfer to another when I feel like it (hehe). I am also an evangelist (yes, for real) which further means that I am a Christian...a Christian science nerd you say!?!?!?! Lol...

Anyway, though my first academic "love" is physics, I am seeking a degree in journalism. With my B.A., I'll then go for a masters in education and a doctorate in whatever I decide...

Hello, my name's Sayonara and I'm a grumpy bastard.

No really, it's true.

Hey, I never read this thread. It is very fun.

Hello, I'm Demosthenes. My real name is Brian. I think I've been on this site for 6 months now (really does sound like a AA meeting :D)

I like Biology, and stuff. I like to read all of the funny posts posted by Sayonara, that's what keeps comin back ;)

Yeah about 6 months, I've been sober...I mean on this site for six months.

Hi everyone, I am bloodhound, and i have been addicted to wild lifes avatar for the past 5 mins.

Well.. i'm 23 year old boy from Sweden... Just this winter i have taken upp my studiying for researcher and probably in physics PhD i think it corresponds too.. altough im far far away.. (almost Star Wars far away, which i do like)

I love reading about Quantumphysics, relativity and a whole lot och other physics (altough not newtonian) Other big interets are Cars and Racing (BMW:s mostly), Martial Arts, Finding a cure for my WAD injurie! Drinkin Beer (in the Sauna) and a gold old Singe Malt (laphrauig is one of my favs).

And since im most Swedish my English have HUGH flaws! So please correct and don't neglect =)

I'm a 28 year old CPA auditor from Indianapolis, Indiana. I graduated from Ball State University with my bachelors in accounting and in finance. I'm currently taking CICS courses at Indiana University.

I enjoy mathematics, but also enjoy other areas of science as well. I play guitar and I follow a band called ween around a ton. I enjoy music a little too much.

I have a silly little blog I maintain in which I write about happenings in music, mostly to keep my friends informed.

I feel completely dumb on this forum...wow!!! Anyway, I'm just a pilot...I love all areas of science, but I have very little knowledge of science compared to you all. Just a gal trying to learn a thing or two... :cool:

[hierarch]

hello,

I'm a PhD candidate in chemical engineering from China. I'm fascinated by adsorption science and technology since that is the subject of my PhD research. But I have interest in the other areas of science, too.

I like to play basketball, badminton, pingpong and bowling in my spare time.

Happy to join this forum and discuss things with you guys.

When I checked the dates of the last 3-4 posts, I was amazed to find that they were posted months apart, but on the same day of every month... ...until I realised the board dates are American!

Anyway...

I'm from Sweden, first of all. Turning 25 in August.

I'm really a bit too "balanced" to excel at anything in particular. I tend to be pretty good at most things, but not great at anything.
A "jack of all trades, master of none" if you will...

My weak point is math. It just don't think it's that fun. I'm a very practical person.
My strong point is my ability to visualise things. I can "see" forces and flows and things like that.

Although I'll study mechanical engineering next year and onwards, I don't plan to work in the field once I'm done. I guess I'm a bit odd in that regard.
I really want a job where I make just enough money to get by, and instead have plenty of free time to pursue my own diverse interests. An engineering job would probably require me to take problems home with me after work, and I wouldn't want my free time wasted like that. And I could and would never sign any confidentiality agreement (except when it comes to personal security such as not telling people where how the alarm system works in the store I work, or for personal integrity, say in medical professions), so most or all engineering jobs are out of the question on the basis of that alone.
I like teaching, so that's an option. That's also something I know I'm good at - making people understand more complicated things than they thought themselves capable of. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction!

My dream for the future is to have a nice big wooden house in the country, with a few acres of farmland to grow my own potatoes, carrots, cabbage and things like that. Maybe strawberries. Then another piece of land where I'd build a huge greenhouse for cucumbers, tomatoes and spices. In addition to that, I'd want a small piece of forest adjacent to the rest of the land I own. A flat grass field of an acre or two would also be nice, for any future kids to play around on.
Finally, a huge garden with trees, bushes, hedges, flowers and "water features", and gravel walking paths. Maybe another smaller walk-in greenhouse in the garden.

That place would serve as my recharger! My home is where i regain any strength lost in the daily grind. My free time is extremely valuable to me.

I'm an atheist, and generally opposed to any beliefs in the supernatural.
I'm also a socialist with a passion for equality in all areas.
Now, I've had many a political discussion with US citizens, and they generally have very distorted opinions on what socialism is. Most equate it to the falsely self-labelled socialist and communist dictatorships of the Soviet Union in the past and China (sorry hierarch - I have nothing against the people!) and North Korea (for example) in the present.

I love etymology! I don't know why, but I do.

I'm also both too lazy and too honest for my own good.

Well, that's enough for now... I've probably typed three times as much as anyone else...

Vector Calculus is wrong ;)

:S!!!

How is that?

Hi, i'm a 22 year old post grad student studying a MA(Electrical Engineering). My main interest is but not exclusively with physic's and any form of computer sciences. I've been absolutely hooked on this forum's seen finding it yesterday some great mind's here i'm really looking forward to some great reads.

[Mr_Mediocre]

ooo...didn't know this was here. Hi, I'm mediocre. I just handed in my thesis (PhD in chemistry) and stumbled on this forum while desperately looking for stuff to do. Looks like some cool threads are to be found here. I like chemistry (obviously), space, music (classical or satriani/malmsteen), sci fi, science in general and (if I'm avoiding work) lots of mindless television. Pleased to meet you all :-)

[aommaster]

wow! I was thinking of doing microbiology as a job!
