Hi there, the name is Rob, or ScienceRob, whichever you prefer. I came to this forum as a result of the action at RDF. While I am mostly a lurker, the actions there are fairly unacceptable, specifically the off-hand dismissal on the community aspect. So I think I prefer to lurk elsewhere, which is why I am here.
A quick synopsis about me would be due, I suppose. I'm a 26 year old man, recently left the Navy(served on a submarine), and am pursuing a biology degree with an extreme interest in Molecular and Cellular Biology. As far as personal philosophy goes I would have to say I am somewhat of a methodological naturalist of sorts who reject dualism. I think that goes above and beyond a usual introduction but there it is.
As a question to this community, are more technical questions regarding science considered outside the norm?

Hello
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman

Re: Hello
Hey there Rob, welcome to the forum! 
Though Science threads aren't usually top of the list, there's a bright bunch of folks that I'm sure would entertain and have the expertise to answer your questions.
If not, then at the very least they will offer you some cheese.

Re: Hello
Of course, with the RDF meltdown, more scientists are showing up, so....

Re: Hello
...so now we panic because we're mainly an off-topic community, so how do we retain those nice, smart people? 
I said hello elsewhere, Rob, but no harm in another!

"Another aspect of the particulateness of the gene is that is does not grow senile; it is no more likely to die when it is a million years old than when it is only a hundred. It leaps from body to body in it's own way and for its own ends, abandoning a succession of mortal bodies before they sink in senility and death" -Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene p.34
