About Me

My photo
Dan
I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, with Math and Computer Science minors. I am currently working as a civilian physicist for the US Navy. I've been interested in science my whole life, and investing in my home laboratory has been an incredibly rewarding past time for me since I graduated into the real world. The purpose of this blog is to share my experiences, and hopefully to get more people interested in the sciences.
