Former Firefighter/EMT. Now I'm older and have old guy knees, so I run the Emergency Ops Center 12 hours a day. Basically I sit in a chair and watch what the incidents the 13 police departments and 18 fire departments in my county are handling and then ensure the two dispatch centers are handling it correctly. During last year's mess, I added counting available hospital beds at the three hospitals in the regional on an hourly basis.

Interesting thread to read through.

I'm a research scientist in charge of managing the 'innovation' team within one of the largest nonprofits in the SF Bay Area. I work with scientists and schools on improving education for young kids (pre-K through 3rd grade), particularly language and STEM skills. It's an interesting time since there's a lot of federal and state funding flowing into this space at the moment. But oftentimes bureaucracy and vested interests stand in the way of implementing methods that are supported by the evidence. That can be frustrating but it's also my job to work with policymakers to try and make some of the new approaches palatable on a larger scale.

Most of my colleagues are women, and as a somewhat atypical scientist who's into MMA (used to be an amateur fighter) with full sleeves, a bunch of guns and a collection of motorcycles I always feel like I stand out a bit. But it's a great career and it's nice to try and help kids.
