I'm a postdoctoral researcher in chemical engineering with a background in mechanical engineering. I have been working on different materials (composites, nanocomposites, conductive coatings), but I am now working on an atmospheric water harvesting material to produce water in remote locations with low energy demands.

That's fantastic! Work on preventing / ameliorating water scarcity is very important, and (unfortunately) I think it's only going to become more important going forward. That really sounds like the kind of impactful work I'd love to be involved in after I finish my PhD!
I’m a staff bioinformatics scientist at an academic institution, got my PhD a few years ago and wasn’t interested in a postdoc. I get to work on a huge range of research questions and lots of different technologies. It’s great!

Graduate student in ecology, just finishing up.
what are you hoping to do afterward? I've always found ecology interesting
Congrats on (being close to) making it through!
@realChem I retired from being a chemical engineer in the environmental remediation of hazardous wastes and petroleum. Went sailboat cruising, and stopped along the way to teach high school chemistry four years. Now I volunteer with OpenAir Collective working on CO2 removal (from atmosphere, not point sources - later is called "capture" instead of "removal" for some reason). Without chemicals, nothing would exist!
I studied environmental science as a major and am working in hazardous waste site remediation, water and wastewater treatment, and dabble in assisting some civil engineering projects.

I work a day job in IT, have a side business doing IT, work an occasional shift at my buddy's liquor store, and sell furniture on the side.

Some days just turn out that way lol
I am a welding Engineer working in a mixed role of failure analysis and research. Most of my projects are sustainability based.
Very cool! From the small bit I learned about welding in my classes it really seems like a topic with a lot of depth and nuance to it (that maybe sometimes goes unappreciated). Happy to have you 'round!

I was managing a dev team building software for Wifi devices for the Artemis program... Then NASA decided they needed to cut $8,000,000 and descoped that part of the project. Now I'm... Looking for the next thing to do.
I understand they're planning to slap some COTS shit in in place of what we were building. I wish the astronauts well when that shit gets hit by some high energy particles. I'm not salty.
Social sciences, expert/consultant position. We have our own in-house research, and collaborating with them is always good fun

PhD candidate, archaeologist in a physical geography department. I read dirt to reconstruct ecosystems over time.
That sounds like a really interesting field! I can't even begin to imaging all of the complexities but the basic idea you put forward ("read dirt to reconstruct ecosystems over time") is very compelling.
