[That's the formal one for proposals etc. – next is the folksy bio:]
I wear many hats: physicist, historian, technology diffusion agent, patent agent, inventor, health care advocate, photographer, writer.
My highest degree is PhD. I was still working as a physicist doing research with a device intended to improve radiation therapy when I retired in 2004. There was a period when I did a lot of work on history of science, and got to know a lot of physics Nobel prize winners, which was special fun.
A technology diffusion agent attempts to improve connections between creators of technology and users of technology. For example, research universities have technology transfer offices which attempt to get the discoveries made at the university adopted by manufacturers. I worked mainly with independent inventors and small businesses.
While doing that I became licensed as a patent agent and still do a bit of patent writing. I do - and did - mostly work on health and safety inventions.
I've been teaching patent writing at John Marshall Law School since 1998. I have a patent application pending for a device I invented with a colleague.
In the last six years I've been doing a lot of advocacy on awareness of issues related to memory challenges and can take a bit of credit for causing some progressive changes in the Alzheimer's establishment.
I still find more than enough new things and old things to explore with words and camera.
