  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

Sometimes I wish I lived in a time when one could just declare themself a "scientist" and then work in whatever field fluttered their ruffle that year.

That is this time, right now.

Call yourself a scientist. Act like one. It is a terrible way to make money, but I will live the rest of my life on the war stories alone.
