Yup, I've modeled EMI emissions, acoustics, cosmic ray interactions (STRIM is a freeware ion interaction simulator, btw, if you need to see how far a 100 MeV sodium ion penetrates into adipose tissue, that's the platform). Accelerator physics and heavy ion transport.

I've also done some neutronics, some thermal, and some rolling sphere lightning models. Gamma/Xray transport.

If the model shows everything is as the customer expects/wants, usually there are few questions. But show that the new box with the new LCD screen may emit more than FCC will allow for hospital equipment, and expect every premise to be challenged (and a change-of-scope quote for an actual test!).

I'm going to keep the sails, so that by day they'll show the poster cub's face. at night, we'll light them up with projectors, part light show, part “informative graphics” about the plight of the bears and what we can all do to help and send money.

We'll put your ongoing sims on a bright digital projector so people in NY harbor can see your critical work flowing in process. Unless it's so windy we'd break anchor.

I think the pebble bed reactor is a great idea!

My work has been more along the Bonder-Farrel DiffEQ lines.

But hey, a job offer that doesn’t include “must be willing to bear arms and wear a uniform at the government’s discretion” is one I am willing to listen to!

BTW, I used to drive Seth Bonder home, and plow his driveway (I was the only scientist at the office with a snowplow).

And Bob Farrell was the scariest dude I ever met - I felt like an idiot whenever I talked to him, and after EVERY conversation, I ran down the hall and hit the books, to see what the heck he just said to me.

LOL.
