Medical-Related Cobra_kid hello, my skills are as follows blacksmith concept design metal work wood work project management chemistry(mostly basics with some knowledge into certain areas) physics(same as chemistry) minor surgery piercing lab write ups/procedures and lots of other small things that may come up later.

i also start school soon to get into the local RN program

DocMorbid That being said, I hold a degree in Mortuary Science and that leads to the one thing I've really mastered - embalming and restorative art/demisurgery. This actually provides a number of useful skills: Gross Anatomy Suturing Surgical skill: Although, I've never had to worry about patient pain or death. I do have to worry about some infection - things like C. Perfringens which causes tissue gas in the deceased, but usually I take care of this with really toxic chemicals. Sculpting: A pretty useful skill for lost wax castings and mold making of unusual parts. Resourcefulness: There isn't a way to prepare for everything you see in a mortuary, so a lot of restorative art is just winging it. Microbiology: Thanatomicrobiology is a great basis for general microbiology. Chemistry: Thanatochemistry is also a great basis for chemistry in general. Sterilization and Sanitation Beyond the mortuary, I put myself through college working in IT (Disaster Recovery). I also have way t0o many projects and have had to pick up skills for those. The stuff I'm proficient in, but have never spent the time to master... Circuit Design Mechanical Engineering Programming: C, C++, and ASM mostly. Gunsmithing and Locksmithing: The fine machining and hand fit and finish work comes in handy for a lot of things. Basic Genetic Manipulation Tissue Culture and Plant Micropropagation Really Basic Tissue Engineering Ummm... Post-Impressionist Painting and Surrealist Sculpture? I just wanted to add another bullet point. I don't think this is really an applicable skill set.

In the process of learning - Human genetics Mat Lab programing Integral and Vector calculus, differential equations Mechanical Engineering

mezquite This DIY expression of transhumanism makes me feel energized. Nootropics, biofeedback, and the enlargement of sensory perception interest me. Time to join in the fun. My skills and knowledge as of May 2011: lab experience with cloning/genetic recombination formal training in biochemistry, will know methods by end of 2011 training in organic chemistry, physical chemistry, physics math familiarity including calculus, differential equations, non-linear systems, modeling (using matlab) self taught basic electronics from Horowitz and Hall Art of Electronics playing with sensors, the Arduino platform playing with brewing, welding, leather working

NeoSapiensSurgery Skills: Physician, plastic surgeon Detailed knowledge of human anatomy and surgical procedures Active researcher into surgery of the peripheral nervous system Past skills:

1 year of laboratory research into viral vectors (lentiviral vectors) for genetic modification, during medical school. Future skills:

Upcoming fellowship training in hand and peripheral nerve surgery next year. I'm very happy to discuss ideas and procedures and provide insight into anatomical and surgical matters, although I cannot give any formal medical advice to individuals on this forum.

I am very interested in discussions pertaining to the medical ethics of 'biohacking' and how a justification might one day be made for the practice to be accepted by the greater medical community.... just as the practice of 'unnecessary but desirable' cosmetic surgery is already accepted.

Finally, for those serious individuals with advanced degrees and technical ability who have the faculty to design novel and useful implants and are looking for a surgical collaborator to plan and help execute prototypes, I am very willing and interested to discuss privately how that might be done.

Shaedlaer I'm a medical doctor at the beginning of my career, with some interest in surgery, psychiatry, psychology and a few other fields. I'll probably start a specialization in surgery next year. I'm from Poland, we have 6 year long medical studies + 1 year long internship here before we get out medical licenses. As far as I know our medical licenses are 'compatible' with all EU countries, I don't know American system well enough to determine how those 7 years translate into your system.

This means two things: 1. I have a wide medical knowledge from a lot of areas as well as some knowledge and know how about medical, biological, biochemical, physiological etc. research fields, as well as probably anything else one could expect from a medical doctor.

2. I'm bound to do no harm, and (especially not being a surgeon-specialist) I would not and will not perform any surgery with home-brewed implants for the fear of losing my license. Also, everything I write should be treated as 'just theoretical discussion and not medical advice, if you want to do this consult your doctors first', and other such cover_my_ass BS. ;)

During my studies, of the more interesting points, I've done a tissue engineering basics course.

I have knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, programming, basic electronics and a variety of other topics at least at the 'I can understand what you're talking about' level because I'm very quick to pick up any new knowledge. I also like tinkering (even if I don't have a lot of free time to do so), so I know at least basics of soldering, metalworking and such.

Dreams on 'to do' list: Making a working transdermal (and possibly in future implanted subdermal) electronics - nervous system communication bridge (I have peripheral nerves on my mind more than direct brain communication currently). Working on cyberpunk kind of cybernetic prosthesis arms, legs and internal organs (I mean the medical grade stuff, not home grinding). I haven't found a place in my proximity that works on that yet though. Making a working 'Iron Man' kind of exoskeletal suit (without sci-fi power source and flying probably ;P )

Spyral Is now known as Simplex:

Degrees/Certifications: BsC Forensic Science 1/2 PhD in Human Genetics Visible Light Microscopy cert. First Aid trained Currently a trainee Teacher.

Lex Fairly extensive anatomical knowledge. Lots of interest. So im constanly learning new things about the body. Understanding of basic chemical components of the body and why they work the way they work (tissue types, blood, nervous tissue, etc.). - graphic design - animation - skills in the Adobe suite and many autodesk programs. - probably more that i cant remember right now. (also id like to say im sorry about my spelling and grammar most of the time because i use my phone instead of a computer and capilatization, apostrophes, and whatnot are a waste of time. If you cant understand something just ask me to repeat.)

TheGreyKnight College Student, Residing in Florida.

Active Skill Set:

General Chemistry and Physics: Up to College level in Chemistry. Intermediate level electronics: as taught by my father and various books. Basics of Circuit theory, things involving magnets, high voltages, and induction, Soldering, and troubleshooting. I've also done some experimentation with electrical stimulation of the muscles Metals: Basic Metallurgy, Smithing, Refining and properties Lab Work: How to properly apply the scientific method and record ones findings, as taught in General Chemistry. Programming: Java, Lua, C++, and Algorithm Composition Martial Skill: Stealth, Escape and Evasion, Tactics, Reconnaissance, and Mixed Martial Arts. Weapons: Fabricating, Maintaining, and using weapons of almost any era, from swords and clubs to nuclear weapons and thermobaric weapons. I also possess a fair knowledge of what kind of injuries they inflict. Psychology: Completed General Psychology. Already possess a working knowledge, acquired by real-world experiments and applications, but lack the fancy terms, history, and finer aspects of this field. Books, Literature, and Rapid Information Acquisition: I read things at a terrifying rate. If you need a large amount of literature analyzed, or resources and research acquired in a short period of time, I'm your man (Unless I'm busy with another project.) Parkour and Advanced Mobility: Basically, how to get from Point A to Point B in the most direct manner possible. This may not directly be useful, but some of the things I've learned about bones, joints, and impact dissipation might be useful. Herbology/Homeopathy: I've been making herbal teas and using plants and herbs of various sorts to help with a myriad of illnesses, injuries and situations. I've also got access to some excellent guides. Dabbling and Very Basic skills Pharmacology: Know some of the basics from my mother. Surgery: as taught by various army field manuals and Cassox. Lasers: I've dabbled with lasers for different things, and will hopefully get my hands on a more powerful one soon. Machining: I've started learning how to use mills, metal lathes, and CNC machines in my free time Nanotechnology: I've got a little bit of knowledge on Carbon Nanomaterials and some of the quirks that surround them. Other than that, not much. Artificial Intelligence: I've dabbled in AI programming and technology off and on for a few years now. I'd like to eventually acquire a working knowledge in this field. Lock Picking: This has given me a very good feel for subtle sensations and changes in a system or device. Hypnosis: Something I'm studying actively. I've mainly been focusing on Self-Hypnosis, and had mixed results so far. Rocket Science: I did model rocketry for a number of years in my middle school and earlier high school days, and I've literally grown up around the space program, So I've got a decent grasp on the mechanics of Rockets. Degree Fields (Current Plan) Software Engineering (Masters or PhD) Minor undetermined

Future Interests A degree in psychology Training in Fencing Life Extension Neural Augmentation Pilot's License

ThomasEgi electrical engineering (pretty much complete lab at home) software engineering (c on embedded systems and python on desktops) mechanical engineering (no real workshop but good theoretical knowledge including dynamic systems)

DirectorX I'm an entrepreneur. I've owned/been involved in a wide variety of businesses internationally. I have a good grasp on the business end of everything. I'm not afraid to jump into new things and I'm never afraid or too embarrassed to ask questions. Here is where I can help: International business/finance. Basic knowledge of business law. Int'l corporate expansions. I'll set up a fully staffed office anywhere in the world for you. Extensive real estate experience, especially deal syndication/repositioning. Stock market shit. Oil/gas exploration. Mind control.. I like disruptive innovations and technology. I'm a good guy to chat with if you need to hash out an idea. Here is my pretentious linkedin account if you want to add me:

E0N Well... I'm working with an engineer friend and some other guys on a wearable augmentation suit so I can be a superhero in LA. Some of the things we're trying to incorporate might be miniaturized and become useful in the context... but I'm afraid most of the ones that occur to me immediately would have to be transdermal to work... and the general consensus is that's bad, I think.

And I have a military background and have traveled a lot and seen strange things. And I can do art.

I find this whole thing absolutely irresistable and terrifying at the same time -- I'm not sure I could summon the courage to perform even superficial surgery on myself. Anyway, it's a moot point for the next two years until I retire from the army.

Ghost02236 Experience, skills and other helpful stuff:

tattoo artist, piercing stone-masonry (grave stones and shit) language skills (English, German, Czech, Slovak, Polish) access to medical supplies and equipment access to wide range of drugs and pharmaceuticals Am willing to experiment with any new mods. Let me know if I can help with anything and I´ll do my best. Will add body modification to this list soon(subdermal, microdermal and If what I´m working on works, even transdermal). Am planning to extend my tattoo studio to body mod and aug studio. Looking forward to work with you

Oak Writing/editing Some graphic design Some chemistry (one year undergrad general chem, still studying) Some pharmacology (esp. psycho-pharmacology, particularly good at researching/interpreting info) Music composition (if we ever make videos and want original music or something, I dunno - both traditional and electronic music, esp. ambient/drone/etc.)

I list writing/editing first because that's probably where I'm most useful here. I know English grammar very well, and I'm good at learning and adhering to various formatting standards. I can also do transcription work (typing speed 100WPM, 99% accuracy) if that ever needs to be done.

odei I don't have any concrete skills at the moment, but I've had some experience in a few fields and I'm pretty quick to pick things up (I always read the manual).

Graphic design, mainly Photoshop (haven't used it for a couple of years though) Web design (HTML, CSS, some PHP, not made anything in a couple of years, again) Writing (Copy, scripts, creative writing, reviews, essays, pleas for money) Working knowledge of computer hardware/software (building PCs, getting Linux to work on them, fixing everything).
