Hi, What does everyone on MR do? and other hobbys?
- Thread starter jhale
- Start date
that may be a private matter - lets not get TOO personal here.
i would also agree though against choosing jessica. many people ruin their entire loves just for one night of fun. i find it much more important to look at the bigger picture. and IMO, if you really truely love your spouse, in your eyes he/she will be the most beautiful/handsome creature in the universe.
and now back to our regular programming...
since we seem to have many skilled people here, perhaps we can start selling our skills for frags.
who wants a stock tip for a frag? he he. truth is i would be more than happy to offer my opinion on a particular stock or portfolio if any of my friends here would like my advice. (but not to those ppl who didnt rate me 5-stars).

Since Shaun does not get home from work till three in the morning, it won't be about his personal life.
I'll take you up on your offer Albert, someday when I don't have a reef tank and have some money to invest. How about investing in frags? I hear blue torts have a great return

Let's just say that all work and no play makes Shaun a very dull boy.Originally posted by jhale:
Okay Shaun, for helping drag this thread back into the dirt,
you have to tell everyone what you do that keeps you up till four in the morning.
So I am trying to not be a dull boy!!
However, sometimes it is work related.

oh man, were back to Jessica.
Okay is there anyone else who would like to share. In between the um, comments, you guys have written some great posts of what you do for your careers and your free time, thanks for sharing. It's nice being able to know a little bit about the people you communicate with.

OK Jonathan, I'll try and be serious.
My turn:
I am 36 years old, and am an Australian who moved to NYC when I was 17 years old. When I first arrived here I felt alot like the character in Crocodile Dundee but over the years I have fallen in love with this city. One day it will be very hard to leave, but leave I shall, since I still dream about studying marine ecology and symbiosis on a reef somewhere.
Ever since I was a kid I have been fasinated with biological systems and always asked myself questions like "how does life work, or how does that grow?" I am fortunate in that I pursued my dream, which is to study advanced science. I have been in school for as long as I can remember, since the career path that I have chosen to follow required alot of schooling (I've been in school for 27 years!!). Four years ago I finished graduate school and now have a PhD in microbiology.
Presently, I work for Cornell Medical center in the research wing (Weill research building). I study bacterial pathogensis specifically tuberculosis. My long term research goal is aiming towards finding new drugs and potential mechanisms to battle against this terrible disease. It kills 3 million people annually, and 1/3 of the world population is infected!!!!!!!! All day long I perform experiments on my ideas, it is humbling and exciting at the same time. I would probably not want to do anything else, . It is also dangerous, since I work in a bio-level 3 laboratory where I need protection from the biological agents I work with.
To me, my reeftank is very much like a ongoing experiment/living work of art/manifestation of the beauty of biology and living systems that I am lucky enough to have in my home. It is a natural fit for my intrinsic love of biology and my desire to experiment.

thanks, that's a great post Shaun, now you can go back to ogling ms. Jennifer.
I am shocked by that stat you gave, 1/3 of the earths population has TB? That's an insane number of people. I just don't hear that much about TB in the news so I really am stunned.
a bio level 3 lab right in the city, super are there any level 4 labs? I feel so safe now.
oh, and I wear a better mask in my wood shop, I hope that's not what you wear when your handling the nasty things you work with.
well I'm glad you are doing what you do.

Good! it just isn't as much fun to be serious all the time!
That's because it is not an American problem, YET. In the rest of the world Mtb is a big problem, especially with HIV. Alot of the 1/3 population is also people who are vaccinated, but still it is one of the most common deadly diseases for humans on the planet.
There are only two BL4 labs in the USA, one is in the CDC and the other one is run by the US army. You look like you are going to go into space to get in them, i.e. you wear a space suit. That picture is old, one of the labs I just recently worked in was a BL3a lab which means that the agents present there are without cure (multidrug resistant). Anthrax is also present in the lab. My mask is MUCH better than the one that you would use!Originally posted by jhale:
