Hi guys

So I've been lurking on this forum for months now and have been meaning to introduce myself to you guys, so here goes. My name's Ken, I'm 31, live in central jersey, work as a research scientist at Rutgers University, and have been smoking cigars for a couple years. I started out loving Rocky Patel and Gurkha but have since grown far more fond of AJ Fernandez's blends, especially Diesel and MoW. I have also started brewing my own beer in the past 6 months and am very interested in brewing beers that pair well with my favorite cigars, as well as finding wines, liquors (particularly scotch and bourbon), and other beers that go well. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys on here! Also, if someone could reply or PM me with a way to get started on the trades/passes part of this, that'd be great!

rossdavey: haven't had the unlimited yet, only have a couple unholy cocktail. need to remedy that pronto, have a lot of the rocky stuff I used to smoke still.
rwhelwright: we should hang some time, drop me a PM or something!
amos: I'm studying the genetic and molecular bases for learned fear. Did my dissertation on a mouse model of intelligence. I plan take the techniques I'm using now and apply them to the intelligence research I did then when I get my own lab in the future. You in science too?
undulac: thanks for the advice, I'll try that, maybe later today!
I've been particularly interested in left/right brain dichotomy, existentialism with strong influence of Kierkegaard, Hegel, Heidegger and Sartre. What you're doing sounds to me like connecting the dots between the physical and the experiential, at least from my perspective, and it sounds like some really fascinating applications will come from it.

You're dead on, I'm very much connecting the workings of the physical brain (and the genes that create/run it) and our experience of that brain at work. Physically, of course, I have to understand that the brain and the mind and the body are one and the same, but we certainly don't experience them that way, and I think that's the most interesting part of neuroscience. That's where this odd phenomenon we call consciousness comes in, and unfortunately I think I was born a bit too soon to get a crack at studying that phenomenon, though that's what got me on this path in the first place. You might also be interested to know (if you don't already) that there is a developing field of psychology called Health Psychology that deals with the decision making process and how it applies to health and medicine. You should check out your local college or university, they might offer a course!

I may have missed it, but I dont think anyone responded to your comment about multiple quotes??? The easiest way I have found is to open two windows - Start your reply on one. Use the other to copy or cut the quotes you want, and paste them in the first one. Im sure some of our more computer savvy BOTL here will have a simpler way to do it, but this way works for me. :-)
