Question by Shadar: Should I train for a new occupation?
I’ve become incredibly bored with what I currently do. It’s not a bad job, nor does it pay poorly, but I feel as though my talents are wasted and I’d like to make a better contribution to humankind. I’m leaning towards nanotechnology or genetics, as both of those fields appear to be on the cusp of producing some wondrous advances to benefit us all. Nanotech would likely be an easier route than genetics, given that I already hold an electrical engineering degree. Of course, I also have an interest in theoretical physics. Ultimately, I would like a profession that I enjoy, one that I look forward to doing everyday. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer by PE2008
There are boring jobs in Electrical Engineering and exciting envelope-pushing jobs in Electrical Engineering. Why did you choose to go into a boring line of work?

At the PhD level, some electrical engineering looks a lot like theoretical (solid state) physics.

Question by NeO Anderson: When dO YOU THINK WE WILL HAVE A CURE FOR AGING?
AGING its just a engneering problem at the molecular level,

as genetics and nanotech matures will be able the control any molecular process including repair de damage coused by aging,

soo if ur in the field of genetics, stem cell, nanomedicine?
waht do u think how long it will take? 30 or200 years? before we
can efectivly stop the aging process?

Welcome to Nanotech Genetics. Nanotechnology, shortened to “nanotech”, is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension, and involves developing materials or devices within that size.

Nanomedicine seeks to deliver a valuable set of research tools and clinically useful devices in the near future. The National Nanotechnology Initiative expects new commercial applications in the pharmaceutical industry that may include advanced drug delivery systems, new therapies, and in vivo imaging. Neuro-electronic interfaces and other nanoelectronics-based sensors are another active goal of research.

Question by Dark_Sickle: should i take up biomedical engineering?
hi guys, i am gonna major in biomedical engineering for college and i want to be involved in fields like biotechnology and nanosciences. do u think its a good idea? and if u agree, then what courses should i take up for getting into these fields? biomaterials? genetics? if not, please gimme an alternative route to bio and nanotech.

Question by Tangy: How do you feel about cryonics?
Do you believe that it would be more moral to cryogenically or otherwise preserve the dead as opposed to burying or burning them IF they could be potentially be repaired and revived at some future date?

Though cryonics is still in its infancy, and thus far from perfect, there’s good reason to believe that future (approx. 20-80 years) advances in fields like nanotech, neuroscience, genetics, and computing will be able to repair much, if not all, of the damage caused by accident, disease, aging, and the freezing process itself.

So, what’s your take on this? Would it be something you’d do? If people could be revived how would that effect your religious beliefs (assuming you have any)?

Tremendous waste of money on a pipe dream. On top of that, it’s extremely selfish–you’ve already had a lifetime, now it’s time to make room for the people newly being born.

Overpopulation is already starting to become a problem without people artifically extending their lives. So even in theory it’s a bad idea.
