I’ve always been absolutely amazed at how self-regulating the human body is. It can identify where an infection is and send in the appropriate antibodies to heal itself. It compensates for so much and can survive it some of the worst environments (like my college years). I never enjoyed biology but as I grow older I am absolutely fascinated by it.

One of the worst things that has happened to me this year though is the need to rely on medicine to live a healthy life. Well, it’s more of a bittersweet feeling. I hate that I will be reliant on a medicine for the rest of my life but I am so amazed and grateful for the advances in modern medicine.

I won’t lie. There are times when I’m taking my medicine, I mutter to myself, “We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.”

@commandelicious You mentioned needing more cats on your Home feed. This is my cat, Murphy, as a kitten. My wife picked out the bowtie. I'll have to find some more recent pics of him.

@freemo I've always said that being a teacher is my early retirement plan. It would be amazing to take accumulated knowledge and experience into a classroom. There's several programs that assist people in moving from the STEM field into a teaching role.

Reading is such an amazing tool. You're absolutely right that it helps people be better. I also like your approach to make every interaction an educational one. There's so much out there to learn. That's why I joined here!

Thanks for the warm welcome, @freemo

I'm a work at a medical device start up and have been in several different roles across development, hardware design, quality control, regulatory compliance, product management, and international procurement. Went to school for electrical engineering, and have been migrating into more product/project management over the years.

I'm a passionate advocate for public education and STEM/STEAM initiatives. I always enjoy to learn more in this sector and would love to eventually pivot out of medical device into this industry.

I try to always be actively reading 2-3 books, love eating delicious food and trying new beers. New technology excites me and I am always ready to learn new ideas and gain fresh perspectives.
