Personal background |
I received my physics BS from the University of Washington in 1996. I have been working in Astronomy for the last 4 years. I currently operate a 3.5m telescope at Apache Point Observatory, but will be quitting in about 4 weeks. You see, I became a volunteer EMT (www.sunspotfireems.org) and have found my TRUE calling, which is medicine. So, I am quitting this job, returning to Seattle and going to try my best to take the classes necessary to get into medical school. I guess physics and astronomy were just a little too far removed for me.
I love the science, the analytical pursuit of problems and the unravelling of our universe, but I prefer to focus on things that have direct and immediate impact. I am not saying that phys/astr do not have impact, just a much longer time constant. Saving someone in anaphylactic shock just really seems to bring more satisfaction to me than writing another paper on an obscure binary star system.... |
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
Although I am dedicating all of MY resources to my medical pursuits, I figure what the heck. I am not using this darn P-III processor most the time, so why not let you guys see if you can make Win2000 contribute something useful to the human race while I am sleeping.... We will never know if we go spinning through our galaxy with our eyes and ears closed.
Oh yeah, what a genius idea to get major computer processing time for free. Mind if I borrow some to figure a pattern in the stock market? :)
