I’ve found when someone starts touting their extensive credentials and the number of books they’ve supposedly read the reality is much less, very much less.
Actually, my credentials are far more extensive than the few I've listed here. I've worked on a lot of things in forty years of scientific practice. That is what I love about the instrument design biz..you never know what new field of technology you will be required to master in order to make the measurements folks want to have made.
