MEET OUR TEAM:
Yeah, just one dude selling stuff out of his house.
NOT QUITTING MY DAY JOB
No, this is not my day job. By day, I'm a mild mannered chemistry professor. Doing my best to stamp out the ignorance that runs rampant in my little corner of paradise. Problem is, my employer can't get involved in commercial enterprises so I was stuck starting SmokyMtSci. Truth be told, it is kind of fun and hopefully I won't lose too much money, get fired, or go to tax jail.
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
This guy named Ben and I designed the WheeStat potentiostat and I want to put it out there for other people to use. At first, I thought that if I published the design, people would make their own. That didn't happen. Instead, people kept asking if they could buy one. I tried to get my employer interested in building and selling these but they said no.
WHAT ABOUT SUPPORT?
If you need help with a project that looks like traditional academics (research, education, community service), then I might be able to help you out as part of my day job.
