Me, by Graham...
Here I am pictured in my workshop with some of my microscopes. I started splashing around in ponds and streams as a small boy and have never really looked back. I thoroughly enjoy tinkering with microscopes and as a former development scientist am a firm believer in never using anything for what it was intended! - so I improvise a lot. I spent some 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry doing just that whilst developing new products and tweaking processes. I am a pharmacist by profession and now work for the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in London dealing with reports of defective medicines.
I am also a licensed radio amateur (G4LLI) although not at present very active on the air. I am a keen builder of models of armoured fighting vehicles - the last model was entirely made from photo-etched brass using masks generated and printed by computer.
Music - an eclectic mix of jazz, baroque, classical, Indian, middle eastern and lots of other things - once again, almost anything improvised or interestingly unusual.
Family: My wife, Noi, is Thai and a great cook (eating is another passion of mine). I have a five and a half year old daughter, Janejira, who is bilingual (English/Thai) and loves learning about what Daddy is up to.
There isn't enough time in the day to do all the things I would like to... I really enjoy this forum and the friendly and helpful people on it. I am very impressed by the harmony here that is sometimes lacking on other forums The standard of the pictures is breathtaking and an inspiration.

Well howdy Graham, its a honor . Your work is excellent BTW. I got hooked at about 8, when my bother got a microscope that projected onto a screen. Thats was it, macro took over though. Its through the eyes and work in the micro areas that really opens up a new world for most of us, so a big thanks Graham.

It sure is nice to have a face with the names of all of you. I thought of that a few days ago and started to suggest it to Tom but he beat me to it. Good idea Tom. It sure is nice to see you all. I will be posting my mug shortly but I'll have to check for any outstanding "warrents" first.
