male/no science background but that will probably change very soon.

"male/no science background but that will probably change very soon."
Which clause do you plan to change? ;-)

Are you going to change your course of studies to include the sciences?

Post by: Bored chemist on 30/05/2007 20:00:46
That would have been my first guess; the alternative would be that the appearance of science_gal or science_doll on the board and no further posts from science_guy

I can in no way take what he said to mean a change of name or otherwise, the comment seemed to me to be in direct reference to his having no science background !

 Anyways, good luck  Science _guy and what are you fixing to take . Have you decided what classes?

I did read all the replies none from science guy!only the original comment. Where is this WHO topic you referred too..LOL

Post by: Bored chemist on 31/05/2007 20:20:59
There are 2 parts to his description of his current status
1 Male
2 No science background
Changing either of these is possible.

MSc Environmental Forestry, doing PhD in Forest Growth and Yield. Only started this in 2001 as a second career - changed life, changed country, changed outlook! Science is so full of opportunity - I don't think this message gets through at school level.

Post by: science_guy on 01/06/2007 16:09:23
oh! forgot to reply.

well my answer is that I am indeed not changing my male status.

I am already taking science classes, but Im just in high school, and have not had the opportunity to have a science background as of yet.

And that is indeed what I thought you meant! Thanks for the reply! I did not even think your comment even hinted at changing your male status! LOL

BTW it is very good to see you science guy!

Founder of Neo-liberalism! and Egonomics!

Background is social science! Sociology! and the university of life!

What is neoliberalism? A programme for destroying collective structures which may impede the pure market logic. Not that type of neo liberalism, that really is free market neo liberalism!

The above mentioned neo-liberalism, is actually quite horrid!
My neo liberalism, deals with society, government, law and not the markeet!

A quick google seach of neo-liberalism shows that there is a difference between both of the terms, but both have to do with the "markeet".

Yeah my point being that mine doesnt! Or at least in my neo-liberlism the market is under the control of politics and not the other way around! As the market will always act in self interest, which is not an inherent good!

My neo-liberlism represents is a completly different form of society, as a result!

Equivalent to BS degree in chemical engineering.  Nearly 30 years of experience in application research (mainly on binders - hence familiarity with many technologies) plus a bit of experience with computers.

MSci Physics (4-year version of BSc)
PhD Condensed Matter Physics (X-ray diffraction, instrumentation, (magnetic) materials research)

Self/father-taught in electronics, computer programming, digital signal processing
Interested/dabbled in radio systems and technology (but not a licensed radio-amateur)

Six years experience working in commercial Displays-research (electronic-engineering plus display physics, optical measurement, visual perception effects, etc).

A hands-on kind of geek, who tends to do things because they're "interesting" or a "challenge" more than anything else...  [;)]

Didn't have the option to go to university - which is probably a good thing knowing my disposition... this way I never got fed up with anything and now am still interested in everything.

I'm forever catching up on as many fronts as possible... [;D] and my daughter keeps me on my toes too

Engineering background, Fabricator welder, mechanical engineer, inventor, medical researcher. Always been a scientist and always will be. Born In the Blackcountry and proud of it, though now a refugee in Paignton living by the seaside :) Lateral thinker by nature who loves to explore the bigger picture by standing back and re-evaluating the whole subject from the established facts, rather than accepting someone else's interpretations of the facts as fact! Comprehensive education though they failed miserably to stop me thinking.
