I am user:sbharris (Steve Harris).

I'm a 48 y.o. U.S. physician (trained and boarded in internal medicine and geriatrics) interested in nutrition, gerontology/aging, dietary restriction, life-extension, resuscitation, liquid ventilation, induced therapeutic hypothermia (especially hypothermic liquid ventilation), and also pharmacology topics in microemulsions and lipophilic drug and nutrient delivery. I'm also interested in respiratory physiology, physics, and scuba. I currently spend full time in hypothermia physiology and drug-development research.

Fringe-science or protoscience topic interests of mine related to medicine include cryonics, the far future of medicine, and science fiction treatments of medical ideas. I've also been interested in debunking of HIV-skepticism and many other kinds of medical quackery (homeopathy). This does not mean I think all of "alternative" medical treatment is quackery. I have a longstanding interest in nutritional interventions into medical therapy, for example, but the wheat must be separated from the chaff.

As a hobby I also have an interest in the Old West Frontier and the Earps in particular. I'll be spending some time cleaning up the Tombstone-related pages as best I can (until a *real* expert comes along).
