Hey folks! I'm Jared M. and I'd like to introduce myself. I'm an amateur biochemist -- which in essence means I love studying and inquiring about biology and chemistry but, relatively, I know very little. I'm here to throw some of my crazy hypotheses out there, respond to some questions I find and that I know the answers to, to meet other guys and gals interested in biochem & the molecular sciences, and last but not least to learn and expand my own personal knowledge. If you care, here in blue is a lil' about me. My name is Jared and I live in the United States in New York State. Apart from my interests in science, I like playing hockey (Props to my team: Go Buffalo Sabres!), I love playing CO2 powered airsoft and I love me a good game of paintball (I got a Tippmann 98 Custom w/ a 16" ceramic barrel, reflex scope etc.). I love going to raves and clubbing on the weekends when I'm not in school. I volunteer with a local animal rescue group (NOT the SPCA - that organization is an enemy to animals; especially the chapter in Western New York *NOTE: Individual SPCAs are not all affiliated with the national ASPCA), I volunteer with the Red Cross, and I work with the Roswell Park Cancer Institute which is a wonderful institute (my current biology professor worked at Roswell Park and he helped develop the protein drug Interferon which is a miraculous drug in the fight against cancer -- much of what I post on these forums will touch on proteomics including discussions on Interferon and enzymes like kinases etc.). I'm also a very sociable guy so feel free to start up a private chat with me; I love meeting knew people. I just don't care for cynical or unmotivated people so if that's you either fix your attitude or don't chat with me; you'll be a bummer to me I guess that's all for now. Feel free to ask me ANYTHING. Hope to hear from and meet some of you guys! PS: I'll upload a photograph of myself so you can know what I look like, in case you care, haha
