I studied science/chemistry from grade 9th to Ph.D. level, specializing in analytical-organic chemistry, which makes learning time almost 12 years. Then, I worked for 35 years in the field.
I worked for five years in the industry (food/agriculture), where I supported (analytical) testing and helped isolate a toxin (vomitoxin, a fungal plant pathogen) using industrial-scale culturing. Following that, I spent thirty years with Health Canada as a research scientist (analytical, organic chemistry), working with testing for pharmaceuticals, both in vitro and in vivo, including clinical trials. Details of expertise and work experience may be found here, here.
The short bio above shows that I have not studied or trained as a medical practitioner (physician) or biological subject expert in virology, immunology, microbiology, etc. However, I interacted extensively with biological and medical experts, where people of my expertise and experience are considered “outsiders,” which is unfortunate and has resulted in medical issues, like the most recent one, COVID-19.
