These problems can range from determining the amount of acid needed to pH adjust a waste tank to identifying the composition and source of an unknown material found in a process and determining how to prevent its reoccurrence. Our solutions are only limited by our technical and creative ability. Probably my family. I never thought I would have a family. Technical pursuits have always come easily for me.
Family is a challenge.
I have been married for 10 years and have 6 children - one set of twins, a set of triplets and a single. It is ironic that we received no assistance from technology for this achievement. Balancing my desire as a research scientist to develop new and innovative approaches to problems with the customers need to have a practical, workable, sometimes immediate solution to his or her problem. None - I don't have time to maintain balance. I simply take things as they come and handle them as best I can.
