I don't really know why I'm here. I worked with Kale for several years and found him to be an interesting redneck. His actual name is Cooter, which he prefers to be called. Most of this stuff is over my head, but I do find interesting things to read from time to time.
I read HN because starting up a research lab is similar to starting a company (team size; project focus; use of cutting edge tech for analysis, development & collaboration).
I dabble in a variety of things... was generally into technology all my life (at various times being light or heavy into programming, hardware, software, any number of things); have a degree in math; work as an editor; freelance doing technical helpdesk work for Wordpress plugins; and just generally like reading new things and hearing from smart people, which is why I'm here.
Also, I've read HN for a couple years now, and this thread is the first one that prompted me to comment. I've really enjoyed reading it!

I am an analytical chemist. Currently I have a company that provides R&D and Manufacture services for salons that want to launch their own label of hair products.
nice to see a chemist, especially one who managed to claim some market share on his own! With hard/wetware, it is not so easy to get your own company going.. and would love to have my own company.
I am a chemist, with a Phd in the field of polymer chemistry, thin films and biomaterials. I did a fair share of small molecule synthesis, polymerizations, simulations and analytics (QPCR, surface plasmons, etc).
PM me, please.
