****Please read the details about my Home, and House Rules**** before requesting: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/stevilchemsit/couch Keywords: Scientist, Vegan, Martial Artist, Environmentalist, Humanitarian, Urban Bicyclist, 80's goth are words that typically describe or are attributed to me. I'm very liberal and tend to hang out in Goth/Industrial/Alternative subcultures. I love to explore, examine, investigate the world and find my place within it. I try to bring the best of what I find into my daily life. I believe there are pieces of my soul scattered about the world. When I travel I find them in the strangest and most humbling of experiences. Right Now, I work Full-time as a Research Scientist in a small Pharmaceutical Division of a large Medical Device/Technology Company. Part-time I teach graduate courses in Natural Products (Medicinal Plants) and Molecular Structure Elucidation. However, I am rethinking my career, because I believe we have plenty of technology, but not enough compassion. I'd like to shift gears and work on Apps that allow people to connect with each other and share resources peer to peer (and not through a corporation), find ways to lower the barrier of fear that prevents us from connecting and sharing.
