Just because something is *new* does not mean the ideas, the forms, the people, the materials etc., are also new. Sometimes the answer to a problem is under your nose - the trick is being open enough to look!Starting out as an R&D /production Materials Scientist, & having a good 10 years as an IT orientated Business Systems Analyst. My current role as Technical Adviser in the nuclear industry layers the two roles nicely. Previously, I put both careers to good use during the restoration of a Georgian townhouse.One way or another I have never left R&D completely, whilst starting out as a materials scientist dealing in aluminum production & defense industry materials, through IT, back to an asset care specialist in the Nuclear Sector, all my roles had an element of development. Enjoy looking at the new - whether finding a new solution to a problem (in IT, a business or in materials), new research & ideas, people; or being given the opportunity to pass on knowledge.In Brief• C.
