Vulgaris

Hi everybody, I am as you could guess new to this forum. Actually, I'm new to using forums in general, but I thought this might be a good way of broadening my horizon and get a feel for what is boiling out there in the real world. So here goes. But first a little bit about me I guess: I am 30 years old and just moved to Australia for work. I am interested in most aspects of natural sciences including but not limited to biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy and so on and so forth. Much of my childhood was spent mixing chemicals or looking up at the stars, wondering how everything was connected. My interest in science got me on the path of studying biology at the university in ny home town, and one thing took the other and now I've finished a PhD in (micro)biology. One of my hopes is that I will be able to do something good for the world through research and/or developing new technologies, and I think microbiology is a good place to start: harnesing the power of mother natures inexhaustible miniature workers! After work I spend my time playing the piano (trying atleast) or programming web-applications with one of my friends back home - digital experiments - you could call it. The last thing we've been working on is a nerdy quiz game with science and sci-fi questions . Looking forward to some great discussions here! Vulgaris
