I'm more interested in advancing knowledge than teaching young ones what is already known.
Bio knowledge has the greatest potential for improving life -- more than machinery, even
though machinery is what I do...

So, why non-academic bio? That's just where I can do the most -- I like working on small
scale low cost machines for lab work rather than being a team member working on a $60K
system marketed by a sales force... And it will be great fun one day when a collection of little
networked lab machines can snap together to do the equal of one of those $60K systems
in analysis or automated production.
