Anyone working on cutting edge science, that is not top secret?
Pretty much what it says on the tin.

The webdip forumites tend to be more educated, or just smarter, than your average person, but are there also scientists around here?

My MS thesis was pretty cool and cutting edge. A new mathematical method for performing nano electronic structure calculations using time independent Schrödinger equation. Potentially more accurate and more scalable than traditional methods used.

Can't talk about what I do at my job in any detail that it would be interesting.

I am a undergrad working on proof-of-concept work for a detector to be used in a particle collider. At the moment, I am working on setting up a single-photon sensitive detector to see how well the detector works. It sounds complicated, but really its just following the directions and assembling the apparatus.

I am a physical and theoretical chemist. It's an awesome discipline. Don't hesitate to PM me if you want to know some more. Don't hesitate to do so in Dutch.

@abgemacht: could you give a hint? What discipline? Physics, mathematics? For what kind of organisation do you work perhaps?

Only if you feel comfortable about it :)

@emfries: that sounded fun until you said you're following directions, suggesting it's not quite cutting edge if you know what I mean :)

For my work? I'm a Performance Engineer at a major IT company. Completely unrelated to my MS.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Ah, yes, that's rather unrelated...

And what's MS? I'd look it up if I wouldn't just find stuff about the disease with the same abbreviation...

@abgemacht there is no such thing as a time independent schroedinger equation.

Else how would you know how long to wait before you check on the cat?

RIP Bob Crow
There are not many people who achieve as big an impact on the lives and minds of the British people as Bob Crow. I did not often agree with him, indeed I can't remember ever agreeing with him, but he was without doubt a man of principle who fought tirelessly for his beliefs and earned no small amount of respect. Rest in peace.

Need two players for a solid full-press game.
We're looking for two reliable players—either with no CDs or with very few CDs that can be explained away—to fill out gameID=137177. We’ve played several games together with largely the same group (a few rotate in and out each game), and they've all been good games with lots of press. They're pretty balanced as well--no solos yet.
