Hello, I am a biologist (former), social worker, and was admin at the now defunct sciencechatforum dot com.  Moved on to scienceforums dot net, which has been down several days, so am glad to discover this clean well-lit place.  And already spotted several familiar names (hello, Geordief and Janus) among the itinerant science junkies.  My interests range wildly around the domains of science and philosophy, but have particular interest in AI, cognitive science, climatology, atmospheric physics, ecology, and why cats put up with us.  I am generally supportive of the Oxford comma.
