Thanks! It was quite a bit of work, and a few little things may remain to do yet, but I´m happy that it is done for the most part now. I can´t recommend working near-full time and trying to get a masters´ degree at the same time, though...

Does chemistry count? I just got done embalming a decedent.

I have an experiment for those with the resources and time.
The Neutrino Saturate
A box must be built where the shell material is multifold super conducting material made/folded repeatedly in an Ammonia bath thus creating layers of Nitrogen and Hydrogen in the sandwitch.
Once the box is created, it is cooled to superconducting temperatures and the Neutrinos which decelerate across the superconducting boundary (where a mirror neutrino is formed as the neutrino approaches the shell) So the Neutrino then forms a plasma of Neutrino and creates 'chains'.
Material placed in the container will fuse (real cold fusion).

Missed this thread the first time or two around. I'm a research psychologist -- a little social, a little developmental, a lot of quantitative. In other words, mostly a statistician.
My sub-sub-specialty is statistical methods for studying adolescent substance use.

Well... There was a big archaeological dig in my hometown last year (about 10.000 m²) in an area where the late medieval/early modern era fortification of the city once was. There were walls and their wooden foundations, ditches, a stone tunnel and a lot of stuff, like stone cannon balls, two arquebuses from the 15th century, a rapier from 1602 among other things found. The wooden foundations could be dated to the 15th and 16th century (using the dendrochronological method), showing multiple phases of building there.
Now, our forebears had a surprise in store for us: the stones used were partially worked stones, obviously taken from a demolished building. There were gothic traceries, columns, ribs and other stuff, most probably from a gothic church, which can be dated tentatively to the 14th century, early or mid-century most likely. It had a coat of arms on a rib vault keystone I could identify as that of a local minor noble family, which died out in 1409. Now, I set myself to find out what church it might have been part of once - scientific research is asked for there. Another highly unusual find was a stone that had been a grave marker once, dated to 1284 AD, giving the name and the profession (a cleric) of the deceased. All this is highly fascinating to a history buff like me, and to be part of this is quite exciting.

Resurrecting an old thread to see if anyone is up to anything interesting lately...
cool
I'm a chemist by training. Lately I've been failing at teaching. In the near future I hope to be repairing... pipettes...
Damn you recession! ::cries::
Not really a scientist although the government now classifies me as one. Biomedical and chemical engineer by training. Last truly innovative work was doing respiratory and anesthetic gas analysis via physical property measurement. Sadly, the medical device industry is ruled by more than good ideas.
Now I spend you tax dollars on advanced development of medical countermeasures for emergency preparedness.

Here's the most recent publication I worked on (and my scientific publications slowly, ever so slowly try to catch up with the fiction ones). More recent stuff in the pipeline pending delay between submission and publication, etc etc.

I am currently preparing to do research on autism. Basically the university of Montreal found a genetic defect that causes a underdevelopment of certain nerves in the brain that can lead to dissociative disorders. It was already theorized that a similar defect could account for up to 10% of autism cases. So starting this fall, I will be working with the University of Glasgow, and cutting up a few Cadavers taking some gland measurements, and tissue samples for genetic analysis, in the hope of finding a defect. "IF" we do, this will be a huge step forward in autism research. *fingers crossed*
