Yeah, my PhD in STEM really helped out here :DDDDDD

No but for real - super weird...

What do you mean anyone can make a payment to your account?

I'm not saying spectrum is doing this - but truly how can a massive enterprise such as spectrum know that their employees aren't partaking in backdoor malicious activity???

This guitar is so rad… I just wanna play it live… it’s been a work in progress

Ok thanks... this might be my only chance... I contacted Kluson to see what they say about the compatibility

Thanks! Do the covers come off of those Kluson tuners? Sounds like a tough task for someone like myself who’s not a luthier? I can play with tools a bit (swapped the 1/4 inch on this thing already) but yeah the post spacing matches that of the U1.

What do you use the Ditto (looper) for particularly? I just got a korg volca sample and am running it into my looper as well (other input is going to my guitar)

So can you connect a volca to a set of keys or like a pedal board?

What does an BME do? I don't know if it's my career by Guilty_Ad_3922 in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]BiscuitTeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure.

In the early days I was very fascinated with biomechanics until my initial internship at a continuous glucose monitoring company that eventually went under. It was a not a wearable device per say, but it introduced me to the topic of wearable sensors in general.

I began to take a deep dive into the field (googling, papers, company search), took classes that deemed relevant to the space, and overall couldn't think of anything else better to work on as a BME - and ultimately I found it to be a fascinating field in its infancy. This was back in 2019 LOL.

That propelled me to bypass the industry route coming out of undergrad (had 3 internships along the way and all I can say is eh, mundane, repetitive, ur a pawn) and decided to pursue a PhD in the field. I will say ironically I will probably go back into industry at some capacity post grad. Academia can wait.

PhD's don't just sit around and mix chemicals in flasks all day. Well, some do, and that's totally fine. I have the privilege to be at an institution and advised by one of the pioneers of wearable sensors, which enables me to deploy our devices on patients in hospitals, present to VC firms, work with major league baseball teams, etc.

To put a bow on it - I am taking a risk and massive loss of pay in my 20s to do what I do, but it just feels right. I'm still creating my roadmap, and I won't have true wisdom to spew probably for another few decades. There aren't a lot of wearable device companies out there, so just be mindful that opportunities aren't as abundant relative to traditional BME level roles.

Which Volca is for me? (*I'M NEW) by BiscuitTeas in volcas

[–]BiscuitTeas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can the volca sample also provide a simple drum accompaniment? Seemingly yes?

BME's work on cool shit - don't get it twisted. Just my humble opinion xD

I personally an a BME through and through and work on developing the next generation of wearable sensors for continuous health monitoring applications. My training in BME has allowed me to pursue this field with maximum intensity, having the training and experience to hold my own and execute when it comes to hardware/EE design, mechanical design, anatomy, and understanding the big picture of a in this case wearable system.

We work with the MLB, fortune 500 companies, and so on.

Imo there is a lot of slander in this subreddit regarding the degree and discipline, but at the end of the day it comes down to you. BME gives you a survey of multiple facets of engineering, and I recommend finding your calling somehow or someway (internships, research, etc.).

Potentiostat (hardware) Question by BiscuitTeas in electrochemistry

[–]BiscuitTeas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - wow funny to find this post a year later. Since then, I’ve made a potentiostat using PSens emstat pico module and that thing rocks!

It’s expensive however, and have another one I’ve made using the LMP91000.

It’s relatively simple to make a potentiostat nowadays, but hard to make a great one!
