A picture of me, Sean McFarland!

Hello Everyone!

As you may have already gathered, my name is Sean McFarland, and I am currently a junior pursuing a B.S. in molecular biology (with minors in nanotechnology, chemistry, honors, and possibly creative writing) at Clarion University of Pennsylvania. Over the course of this (Spring '08) semester, I will be seeking to detail a device or idea involving nanotechnology that will help further the goals of Appropedia in improving the human condition. As my major and future career inclinations would dictate, I am primarily interested in a project that would include material of a biological persuasion. After I do some reading and reviews of the literature currently out there, I'll be sure to continue to update this page as I flesh out exactly what I'd like to do.

Areas of Interest:

  • Somatic gene therapy
  • Transgenic food crops
  • Computer / web programming

Current Project Ideas:

  • Solar-powered UV lamp for water sterilization.
  • Use of silicon nanowires in batteries to improve energy density.
  • Use of nanodevices in DNA delivery, improving upon methods in somatic gene therapy and crop engineering.

If you happen to stumble upon this page and would like some food for thought, I'd suggest looking up the MFoundation, whose SENS plan stands to benefit all human beings the world over.
