ITT: honest descriptions of our scientific roles

Hey anon, you sure do spend a lot of time on /sci/ calling other posters idiots and hating on Neil Degrasse Tyson. Care to back that shit up?

What are your credentials and what is your job? Are you contributing to the scientific field you claim to be an expert in?

Prove to me you aren't just a neckbearded loser. Pic related: if you were doing shit like these guys, you wouldnt have time to shit-post

I'm a PhD student working on LHCb.

My current project is a fully tagged time-dependent angular analysis of the Bs->phiphi decay using the 3 inverse-femtobarn dataset from run 1 of the LHC.

The standard model predicts there are CP-violating phases in mixing and decay, but that they should interfere destructively and pretty much cancel out completely.

We haven't published yet, but we basically see nothing. We did manage to make the first observation of Lambda_b to phi K p, though, so there's that.

BS in physics
MS in photonics and optoelectronics
Research background in fluorescence microscopy, camera imaging systems, and some fiber optics

Currently unemployed and desperately applying everywhere. Want to get into fiber-optic networking and every job has that "3+ years experience" bullet point. Personally I think it's a conspiracy among hr depts run by poorly educated asshats to extend the economic recession as long as possible.

>Sorry, we're looking for a 20+ year veteran in our immediate area with the exact skillset described here who wants to work for $20,000 a year on a 3 month rolling contract. We'll keep your resume on file

>hating on Neil Degrasse Tyson
Only recently started browsing this board, and I have seen a bit of this.

I am personally indifferent towards him, and only know about him from the layman who is in the "science is awesome" phase.

Is thatthe main reason for the hate?

[Anonymous No.6381219]

>>6381209
yeah the autists on /sci/ think that they have some sort of highground and hate the fact that STEM education and outreach has become so ubiquitous

His threads get spammed a lot by vsauce (really gay YouTuber). Dude thinks that if NDT is popular then his YouTube videos will follow. Look at the catalog, there's a ton of threads at all times.

I got a BS in mathematics and will go to graduate school in the fall. In the interim I am caring for other people's dogs at a kennel.

Kicked out of uni on the first year (not my fault - honest). Gonna apply to a better one next year. Thought about chemistry because of money, but reading how bullshit uni material is, I'm thinking fuck it.

I finished my MSc and then became an electrician. Don't knock it. It's far more satisfying, and I make more money working fewer hours than do any of my friends who went on to academia. I do research in my (copious amounts of) spare time, and I actually enjoy it now because there's no pressure.

Research? How did you get a lab?

senior in biochem, working in a lab on my thesis (we're required to do one in order to get a BS; no requirement for BA).

>Few years off working in a university research lab
i take it you regret doing this? i'm in biochem and told my current PI i might take a year off before going to grad school, and he said he'd let me work there as an RA in the meantime. right now i feel as aimless as i did when applying for college and choosing a major and maybe the year off would help me get back on track.
