I am the Internet Tools Specialist for InterNIC Net Scout. What this means is that I read everything about Internet technology, try to make sense of it and then write overview articles for the Net Scout Toolkit. The great thing is that I read everything and think about it anyway, so it was rather foolish for them to pay me to do this (But don't tell them!).
Eric Hazen and I also provide most of the technical and Webmaster services for the Net Scout group, although we do get a lot of excellent help from the Computer Systems Lab (CSL) and the folks at InterNIC.
Before recently joining the Net Scout Team, I worked at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and the Integrated Microscopy Resource (IMR), an NIH Biomedical Resource for nearly eight years. At Molecular Biology I was fortunate to co-develop with Prof. Sean Carroll and his lab a technique for creating multiple label confocal images. Basically these are cool looking images of developing embryos that get on a lot of journal and book covers. I also developed the Molecular Biology Web site.
At the IMR, I was fortunate to work with Prof. John White and the rest of the IMR staff. While at the IMR, I developed their Web site which received 4-stars in the Magellan Internet Guide. My last major project involved the co-development of a 4 Dimensional Microscope for studying how embryos develop. This microscope is described in an article which appeared in the August 2nd 1996 issue of the Journal Science.
