RE: Hello Steemit - Introducing lifesciencemusic
Hi, thank you very much for your kind comment. I think it's essential to be humble when it comes to knowledge and even scientific paradigms. I think the truth is always more complex than we try to describe in our scientific models. But that's the challenging part and in my opinion this can be fun as well. The most important thing is never to stop asking questions and never to stop to marvel.
Do you work in the field of health care? I think that's pretty exciting. When I read about things like IBM Watson Health, i think these systems will revolutionize the future of health care. I'm curious when these approaches will be put into practice as standards and what kind of obstacles will be in the way.
And yes, talking about music, I really love so many different influences. I'm classically trained and especially love the music of the romantic epoch (Chopin, Liszt, Schubert, Schumann). But I also listen to a broad variety of pop and rock music and movie scores. Especially by combining different genres and making a "cross-over"- styled music, very interesting things can emerge.
I do work in healthcare as a speech-language pathologist. Conditions like difficulty swallowing lead to many hospitalizations and I have hope that the large data Watson can analyze will continue to help us understand some more efficacious screening tools for identifying these issues before they lead to serious events like choking or pneumonia.
I mentioned ska as I am very firmly grounded in rock music family but I will vary from punk to funk, reggae to new wave and alternative. But I think I am truly most excited when I hear those successful cross overs and mash-ups of different styles and sounds...and then I have always loved old-school video game music but they can be a serious undertaking to cover.
That sounds pretty interesting. I also hope that Watson (or similar systems) will help to contribute to great breakthroughs in the medical field.
