So, in light of [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/phd-university-lecturing ]this thread[/url], it seems that there are a lot of PhDs on STW.
How many of you actually hold one? And in what field?
Dr SaxonRider, historical theology
Dr julesf7, economics (runs and hides...)
Dr ART, if you please, corporate enviromental management & strategy (good grief) 😯
Dr StirlingCrispin, dairy science (or something like that)
Dr doc_blues, Immunopharmacology...actually thinking about it is was Neuroimmunopharmacology but that sounds a bit gash tbh
user name is related to the 'doctoroal' and 'postdoctoral' blues you get when you have been in research too long...
Dr Juan useless chemistry as it seems I can get a job 🙁
Dr IA, Informatics
Currently job hunting, if anyone needs an AI researcher...
Dr Clark - Chemical Engineering
But working in Sports 😀 much better
Dr BB - Engineering/Composite materials analysis
Dr tg2003 molecular cytogenetics
It still surprises me when someone calls me doc, I never use it.
about 9/10ths of one.
in Environmental Geochemistry.
submitting a thesis would be a good way to get the additional 1/10th, but it doesn't want to go together.
hey ho, 7 years in industry and it really doesn't matter.
Dr AdamW: molecular electronics/chemistry
Team found out about it a few years after I started. I'm now known as 'the doc'.
I just wanted a verrry long scarf, that was all 😀
nearly Dr Marp, PhD applied biomedical research (physiotherapy). Writing up as we speak
Dr Zokes, Soil Biogeochemist (allegedly).
Seem to have found the holy grail of doing PhD, then Postdoc, then bugger off down under for twice the salary and a permanent job
Dr Shackleton, Plant Cellular Biochemistry. Still trying to make a career of it.........
Dr saxabar: culture, creativity and communications
Dr Yetivaud, Analytical Chemistry/ Nutrition/ Biomarkers. PhD seemed to open loads of doors for me in science....... allowed me to find work in Switzerland quite easily.
Dr mema, optoelectronics, post doc in building massive mirrors for a big telescope and other stuff that Im not allowed to say!
I love when I'm are asked 'so is that Miss or Mrs? ehhh Doctor!
Dr Anagallis_arvensis plant community ecology
Dr Foster, PhD in walking into surprisingly deep puddles.
Dr jwr - Computer Graphics & Image Processing.
Was all lined up to start one (in signal processing) but then I got offered an actual job.
I remain un-doctored (but considerably better paid).
Dr STS - PhD in Glaciology and numerical ice sheet and erosion modelling
Good to know.
I work as as technician to a national scientific service.
It's amazing how many people assume I'm Dr Dan. About 90% of the stuff that gets sent to me is addressed to Dr Dan.
I have a 3rd class degree to my name (which I struggle to spell correctly most of the time) and can't do basic maths in my head. Woo!
It makes me wonder how easy it would be to fake being a Dr (not a medical one..)
Dr PeteO - Mechanical Engineering
Dr rkr - computational chemistry although now working in mech eng
Dr uponthedowns Chemistry
It makes me wonder how easy it would be to fake being a Dr (not a medical one..)
Given some of the stories that make it to press, I'm slightly worried as to how easy it is to be a real doctor, not just a pretend one like me...
Dr redmist - geology and now working as a postdoc
Dr D - Laser Physics
Dr Joe. PhD in Computer Science, but mainly actually about magic and juggling.
Dr DaveRambo - AI in Analytical Chemistry
Dr Pippin - Forest Harvesting - 3 years about cutting down trees and chopping them up. Currently employed in working how to cut more trees down and burn them
The humanities are much neglected among mountain bikers, it seems. 😐
Writing up at the moment, another glaciologist.
I've just enrolled on mine Biochemistry but a lowly MSc at the moment 😳
Dr Jamie, Psychology
The humanities are much neglected among mountain bikers, it seems.
Dr Robespierre: Psychoanalysis and English National Identity.
Yes this is quite interesting in a geeky kind of a way isn't it.
All we need now is for someone to compare the % of STW'ers with PhDs to that of the populace as a whole and come up with some kind of groovy reflection on what that says about the MTB community. If it helps with the balance of things mine was a social science PhD in a school of management, with some elements of what might now be described as 'action research' so whilst I 'scienced' it up a bit in places it felt like a massive reflection on the human condition at the time.
Dr rkr - computational chemistry
Oh a fellow geeky chemist 😉 What was your thesis title?
Dr Aidan - Computer Science
But I left the cube farm behind.
😈 Irrelevant stuff me.
Dr Munqe-chick (esq) something to do with material science catalysts. Something I clearly don't understand!! Mrs MC just a BA Hons...arts though
Dr Nutt, Advanced Truancy and Wayward Nature
