Hi, Folks!

I am a tenured Associate Professor at La Salle University in Philadelphia, PA, USA. I have my B.S. Degree with a Double Major in Chemistry and Physics and my Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry with specialties in Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy, Instrument Design, and Automation Software Development. I teach in an interdisciplinary undergraduate program called Integrated Science, Business, and Technology in which our students study the process of developing scientific discoveries into new products and services using collaborative business practices. I develop and teach courses in Energy, Materials, and Informatics, and have personal research interests in Robotics and Machine Intelligence.

After joining Facebook as soon as La Salle was added to the Facebook servers in 2005 and Joining Twitter in 2007, I created the Facebook and Twitter accounts for the University as I was unable to convince our IT department that it was important for the University to have a presence on social media.

After openly sharing my personal Political positions as a Constitutional Conservative and my support of Donald Trump, the backlash on Facebook and Twitter was so severe that I no longer use those networks.

As a Conservative Academic, I understand and deeply experience what it means to be a minority. I'm giving Mastadon a spin in search of respectful conversation.

Formula One. Vettel should keep putting in those fastest laps.

@PonderingCreek This MASTODONIAN hadn't looked very close. But he's got it now. Thank You. 😎

@beewol

The interactions on Mastodon are quality. Twitter is a narcissistic dopamine adventure. You can learn here.

@AnonByNature Technically it is the people who make the place but yeah perhaps there is some level headedness here.

@PonderingCreek Thank You. So we are MATADONIANS. I like the sound of that. Makes me feel like a Warrior of sorts. If we ever go to war, launch me onto the frontline.

I see this looks a bit like Twitter so I am still trying to get the hang of it. But I am sure I will get used to it. Glad to be here.

New to this Toot thing. I'm a Bald African Unicorn. I dip my bread in tea. I sleep talk. The internet is my home and I'm perpetually under house arrest. I'm a Convivial human and a Sentient being. I once dated Jessica Alba but she probably doesn't recall. Oh I also love the rain.

@Itspendleton What's your cat's name? Looks like a real mischevious fella.
