[diaglo]

I lurk a lot but this topic interests me. I'm a scientist in the veterinary medicine field. I work mostly with hybridoma cells and cloning. Immunology is 70% of my work. The rest of the time I'm busy with the paratuberculosis study in domestic cattle.

i'm in a related field.

i work for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services(DHHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases (CCID), National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE), Mycobacteriology Laboratory Branch (MLB), Reference Laboratory Team (RLT)


i work as a gene jockey.

I'm a physicist who figured out he could earn half again as much working for academia as working in academia.

Out of curiosity, what do you do for academia? (If you don't mind me asking).

Finding higher pay working outside academia is a familiar story.

 

[Thornir Alekeg]

Microbiologist in the Pharma/Biotech industry on the Quality Control side of things. Been doing this for more than 15 years.

 

[Galethorn]

Geology undergrad, minors in Physics and Astronomy. I'm planning on going straight into grad school after I get my BS.

My goal is to work for the USGS Astrogeology lab in Flagstaff for a few years as a post-doc, and then find a university that'll give me a team of grad students to trudge around the wilderness with, and teach a class here and there when I'm not in the field.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Rev (still want to call you Fru!): Let me know if you want book recommendations or something, that's totally my field.

Oh, definetely. Please.

 

[Tinker Gnome]

I am studying for a Chemistry test right now, does that count?

Out of curiosity, what do you do for academia? (If you don't mind me asking).

Right now, I manage projects in MIT's IT shop.

 

[Achan hiArusa]

Currently I have a BA and MS in Physics where I did research in astronomy. I also have an MA in Biology and did work on astro/microbiology. But currently I am working as an adjunct professor of mathematics/physics/biology and my next job will be a circulation supervisor in a Law Library. I've just had problems finding science jobs since I don't have much programming or instrumentation experience (I can program in BASIC and Pascal, and the only instruments I've used have been a Gas Chromatograph and a Telescope with a CCD camera).

 

[Jürgen Hubert]

Physicist who is trying to do his PhD in the field of Computational Materials Science.

Right now I'm on a research project in Columbus, Ohio instead of my usual haunts in Aachen, Germany...
