I've been curious how many working researchers we've got in this community, and what you all do!

If you're working in science (physical or social), engineering, etc in a research capacity, give a shout in the comments and let us know what you work on! Same goes for students and amateur scientists at any level. (And by amateur I mean those of you who are working on your own experiments but just not being paid for it / not working on a degree; I'm upset that "amateur" has a negative connotation, it shouldn't.)

I'm currently a PhD candidate, working on transmission electron microscopy and electronic materials (mainly ferroelectrics). In the past I've been involved in research / product development in a few different industries, including medical devices, aerogels, and materials for RF devices.

I was managing a dev team building software for Wifi devices for the Artemis program... Then NASA decided they needed to cut $8,000,000 and descoped that part of the project. Now I'm... Looking for the next thing to do.

I understand they're planning to slap some COTS shit in in place of what we were building. I wish the astronauts well when that shit gets hit by some high energy particles. I'm not salty.
