>> is your background primarily scientific, or in business as well? <<
My first career was in software engineering, but I am now a professional investor. I invest for my own account and I advise a small private foundation on its equity and fixed-income portfolios.
I am not a scientist but I know enough science to get by. My wife teaches chemistry and is available to help out in a pinch
At one time, I was ranked among the world’s top-rated backgammon players, and I think backgammon has been helpful in allowing me to frame real-world scenarios in terms of probabilities, which is what investing is really about.

Glad to have your expertise on the message board. Regards, Dew
