I’m an environmental scientist in applied research. Started as a technologist where I was handed experiments to plan and execute. Every project meant learning/creating at least new work flows, processes, instrumentation in different environments (lab, field work, greenhouse). I often had to learn new but related areas of expertise. CONSTANT troubleshooting and creative problem solving. All that chaos and stimulation was perfect for a brain that needs lots of novelty, pressure, and stimulation. Any time I started to get bored with the work I was doing, something completely different came up.

My employer sent me to grad school so I can lead some of research we do. I’m now figuring out how to make this work with my ADHD.

Usually 1m by hand but I was on a project this summer where we were stopping at 3.2m

This is a recruitment ad and it’s working. I’m ready to join.

I’ll upvote this but I don’t like it.

I found this trying to find out how to collapse a comment thread. It’s the one feature I’m missing from Connect to make it my full time lemmy app.
