If you don't have a blogger ID (or it's not turned on) please include a way for me to contact you.
I'd be willing to be interviewed/write a blog post for this series. I work for an environmental remediation contractor, mostly doing data management and map making, but I also do some field work. We're an EPA emergency response contractor, so get called in for wildly varying things - hazmat management after Hurricane Katrina, the oil spills last summer in the Gulf and a smaller one in Michigan, the post 9/11 anthrax response, and the space shuttle Columbia explosion. You can contact me by email at kathryn.scannell gmail com, or look for me on the Savvy Authors loop.
ReplyDeleteI will throw my hat in the ring for this one. Have you ever seen the show "How It's Made" where they go into factories and show the machines that make all sorts of different things? The majority of my career has been writing the software that controls those machines. Software I wrote is making things from Honda Minivans, to Twinkies, to Yogurt. Other aspects include designing machine safety systems and training operators on how to run the equipment.
ReplyDeleteHope that can be of use!

This is a wonderful project. I'd love to contribute.
ReplyDeleteI worked as a Research Engineer in a University. It involved designing experiments, lab work, writing quarterly reports for stakeholders, attending and presenting at conferences all over, collaborating with industry, writing software designed to predict results based on input criteria, hiring an intern and research assistant, publication, and field work.
