None of them are my actual workplace as I don't really want to get fired!
 
I'll tell you - but then I'll have to kill you. Sorry! I work on both experiments and communications. The two are so completely integrated that unless it is a pure communications satellite, you can't really pull them apart. So some of it is sensors - gravity, particles, magnetism etc and some of it is the science that uses them. The communications part is pretty easy though - getting data from space to earth is one of the easiest things you can imagine. From point to point on the ground is another matter entirely. I hate that.

Signing the Official Secrets Act when starting the job was interesting. A 150 page document put in front of me and I'm told - please read and sign. We'll come back in ten minutes. Fortunately I've read and signed it in other jobs, so I know it is mostly full of stuff that was just barely relevant in WWII. Frankly the average one page NDA is more useful.

What do you do Mr. G?

Linguistics stuff, RVA. I work at a university, but also do research; embodied & experiential neurolinguistics, but am moving into embodied AI stuff nowadays too - even been building some robots and seeing how they act in their environment, how their learning can become smarter. Don mentioned arduino stuff, and I use that for my robots too, but at a much simpler level than I suspect he does; I'm more of a sociologist than engineer (although my undergraduate degree was in electronic engineering).

That is sure cool. A mix of sociology and technology. I would like that!!!
 
I will join in the what do you do game. You all already know I am lawyer who does only personal injurybcases for the injured. I have been practicing for 22 years now. I got a job in lower Manhattan out of school for a solo practitioner who did a little of everything. After 2 years, my high school buddy and I decided to take a crack at private practice. That was in 1996. Since then, I have had various incarnations of the partnership, but I have been doing it solo since 2012. It gets lonely at times, but it is more rewarding this way. I try my best to make a difference, and I have been successful at changing some lives for the better.
