Tynic has the coolest job that isn't an adolescent male revenge fantasy.
Well, it could very well be a revenge fantasy in the sense that the research into swarmbots and insectlike autonomous systems is going to see military use.
I can easily see some movie where the main villian utters the words "Release the Swarm" followed by maniacal laughing.

I usually duck the question, or lie. Because everyone makes the same face and almost nobody knows how to respond intelligently and it's just such a conversation killer.
wait what do you do for a living
isn't it something sciencey
It depends who's asking and where they ask. But generally I am a bio-roboticist. I work with behavioural biologists and neuroscientists to create bio-inspired sensors and algorithms for insect-inspired visual control of autonomous vehicles, usually flying ones. Sometimes I go out and spend hours filming insects, sometimes I spend days locked in a dark room doing really tedious mathematics, mostly I do a lot of programming and data analysis, and sometimes i build things (that's the fun bit).
this is so fucking cool
do you use python? I find a lot of scientific programming is done in python these days

Only working on robot snakes!
Booo. Hissss.
Boo Hiss would be a ghost snake, not a robot snake.
I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

I want to believe
GoFund The Portland Trans Pride March, or Show It To People, or Else!
it's pretty convincing and the tech is only one or two steps away from being reality.
The only reason I found out is because I went looking for the original research and the Japan Institute of Science and Technology doesn't exist.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

I really don't know why, probably because people are dumb.
I mean structural engineer. I engineer the structures.
Satans..... hints.....
so you're the guy who tightens up the graphics on level 3?
Well the quantum locking levitation wizard bullshit is real
and amazing
but the track with the cars is not I guess, but it's one really weird grant away from being possible
he probably hasn't done it again and I'm sad now
I used to refer to you as my "friend who made the largest gold coin ever."
the magnets are just room temperature magnets, but the disc is cooled down by the liquid nitrogen.
I think he works for the same people who pubish pro-global warming 'information'.
