(11,461 posts)I guess you don't have a phd, but somehow it was super important to you to point out that you are a "scientist".
My research is currently on brain cancer, and my thesis research was in pharmaceutical chemistry and structural biology. I wrote a program that allowed researchers to create high quality protein homology models in seconds, allowing some of the first Langevin-dynamics simulations of proteins with sidechains, which has helped us understand how proteins fold and mis-fold and cause disease. I have worked in pharmaceutical discovery for 23 years, on cancer, inflammation, cystic fibrosis, pain, polycystic kidney disease, AAT, and a host of other diseases. So yeah, you could say that my work has had an "impact".
As for your angry word cloud, there isn't much in it worth responding to. You have some kind of problem with energy policy? How nice for you. Have a cookie.
