In the time I have been reading ExI-L I have had exactly one opportunity
to comment (1) on a matter relating to my professional identity. It was that
sleep apnea thread that briefly made an appearance.
Harvey many of us (maybe even most of us) being really bright people with
a nack for getting into odd work areas are so specialized that what we
do is relatively opaque to the nonspecialist.
For instance.. the only professional on the list I know of who is working
in
the same area (vaguely) is Rafal, but he is a clinical level
provider/researcher.
I would trust him to correct an error I made on the basic science or
clinical manifestations of neuropathology (that's his role) but I wouldn't
expect anybody but him to understand what it is I do.
Data security professionals or research neuroscientists or rocket
engineers
have jobs that are close enough to the Extropian general issue mindset that
their expertise is germane to the list.
But the intraoperative neurophysiological monitors who moonlight
as polysomnographic workers are not likely to chime in real often ::grin::
It would decrease the signal to noise ratio.. but I'm not sure that would
be a good thing in this case.
Regards,
Brian
