Hi #QOTO!

I am a paleontologist/geologist. My research interests are in paleontology. I mostly focus on using quantitative methods, my Master's thesis used morphometrics and multivariate statistics to quantify species within a single bivalve genus. I now work for a university as a geology lab manager. I mostly teach and coordinate the introductory undergraduate course labs.

I'm also just an all around science nerd, so I'm excited to meet other scientists and discover new things. I love to be always learning. Along with this comes an appreciation for most #scifi and fantasy things out there.

I am a project manager, Dad to six kids, and I have learned that my "Plan B" is almost always the right one.I also love to read and try to stay up on the latest in science and technology, but also love listening to old-time radio shows (I recommend Gunsmoke and Johnny Dollar as excellent, though the detective series Richard Diamond is also very good).

To the hundreds of new QOTO users we got over the last 24 hours. Please drop me a line if i didnt follow you or forgot to reshare your introductions. I have been very busy with work and keeping up with the huge surge of new users. It is possible one or two of you wonderful people slipped through the cracks, and that would be a travesty to all!

I am a graduate student in Global Environmental Studies at Kyoto University and a teacher in Japan. I am interested in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Looking forward to meeting some new science-oriented people.

Can't stop making silly faces though :D

Hello!

I work full-time as a programmer and part-time as a student pursuing an M.S. in computer science. No concrete plans as to what I'll be doing once I finish. I am interested in AI and its many subfields, synonyms, buzzwords, etc.

Something random-

I've been reading up on ancient Canaanite religion recently, and it is a very interesting subject. Particularly when you look at it as the precursor religion to what would eventually become Judaism.

A lot of the god names are maintained in Hebrew- which is, itself, a Canaanite language- the only living (Although you could say resurrected) Canaanite language. Yam (long A, Yaam) for instance is one that is super easy to spot because the word, in Hebrew, for ocean is still yam.

It's a very interesting thing to study for me, as a Jewish person and a secular Zionist who ascribes to the notion that the Jewish people are the aboriginal people to the region of the world I've chosen to make my home.

However, from a history standpoint it's particularly interesting to see where my culture and the religion associated with said culture came from and evolved from.

@freemo Hi, Freemo! Great to be here, thank you.

#introduction I'm just a dude living a life in Tel Aviv. I'm no expert when it comes to STEM, and certainly not professionally educated in any such field but I am certainly a fan.

Outside of my interest in general knowledge, I'm into gaming, table top role playing, and have been a member of the telnet based Mu* (Mush/Mud/Mux) online Roleplaying communities for just about two decades now.

I'm big into discussing different topcs, always happy to learn something new, and share my own personal experiences and knowledge with any and everyone.

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.
