Monster energy is nasty! Plus when I think of that drink I think of white trash. There is just no class. Plus the Longitude expedition dIIs had red bull dispensers from what I heard.

PhD Chemist here as well.
I work in oximes for anti-nerve gas agents. Strictly military application. Obidoxime, Pralidoxime, HI-6, Diazepam, Atropine, TMB4, and Benactazyne.
For those of you in the military if you have carried an AtroPen, a ComboPen or a MarkIV you have carried what I work on. The Morphine direct injection device is another. Basically if the US military wants a drug put in an auto-injector they come to us.
A few years ago I helped develop the next generation of auto-injector for EpiPen. This product is for anaphylactic shock, i.e. bee stings, food allergies, etc.
I've pigeonholed myself into this autoinjector world, but we are finding new usages everyday. Our new product will be a migraine headache drug with a autoinjector delivery, what makes out product special is it is our first sub-Q injector that has no needle. It's pretty cool.

Hey Bannon, Thanks for your work. Somehow with all the stuff i faced and overcame in the army i never could come to terms with stabbing a spring loaded needle into the meaty portion of my leg:ack:
LOL!
If you could only see the testing of those firings. We have some military footage on site of a structured testing battery and the things the military would fire the injectors through was amazing and alarming.
One of our new EpiPen devices can drive the needle through a mans sternum without failure. It is one bad mofo. It is designed for cardiac delivery, and must never fail. We have reports of the needles cracking the ribs in the chest, though I've yet to see an x-ray of that.

Only reached for it once, starting having air bursts with a lingering yellow smoke about 30-40 feet above us
. Turns out it was RPG's reaching their max range and self detonating( or so they told us )

Hmm.. if you don't mine me asking... who do you work for? Some folks I've done some work with in the past at Sabic Innovative Plastics (formerly GE Plastics) just got laid off. These were all folks at the PPDC/HQ in Pittsfield, MA.

Up until 2004, I was V22Guy...then became F18Guy. Then last month I moved to AZ to become "Apache+26 other defense program Guy"
Some day, I'll give up this corporate rat race in the defense sector and become Garrett's assistant as a junior looper.

Lets go back. I do like Red Bull but with a stomach problem they didn't settle well. Monster Java and the Monster Fruit drinks are the way to go. And Monster Energy distributor trucks are kick ass.

The sculpture is called "PHAROS" named after the lighthouse in Alexandria. The handing part resembles the Fresnel lense of a lighthouse. Probably symbolic of Booz-Allen "guiding the way" for their clients.

Very cool Bannon!
I was just looking at some research about DMSO last night...a product I've used on my horse and was curious to read about it's use for humans. Come to find out it's been used as an injectable for cancer treatments, chronic inflammation, nerve injury, head trauma, etc. with much success.
Have you done any work with DMSO?
Roverlady,
I have done a little bit, in the product I worked on ithe DMSO was in the topical to facilitate the active drugs transfer through the dermis. About 5-6 years ago, DMSO started to be looked at as a real treatment option. The reason for this was strictly due to it high placebo effect.
Patients who were administered placebo topicals of soley DMSO reported a vast number of effects, originally these were just thought to be the placebo effect. Then once the data was complied and reviewed a trend began to take shape. This trend then led credence to the fact that DMSO alone could be used as a treatment for a number of injuries and illnesses, both human and animal.

Yeah but that taste you get in your mouth when you get that crap on your skin is horrible and the smell is nauseatingkly sweet.
I have used it on my horses and it works, but I would hate to put it on me.

Scott--I use a clear, odorless gel form that is 99% pure. It has no smell or taste effect.
I actually started looking it up because in my haste to use a little on a rear swollen fetlock (while he was eating hay and loose in the field!), I applied it without a glove. Even though I wiped the excess off my hand, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to burn my skin or cause any type of reaction once it had been absorbed.
Bannon, the little bit of research I found was quite impressive. It's ability to draw free radicals and to carry other drugs quickly from the surface seems reason enough for it to be more widely accepted. I was surprised I hadn't heard much more about it in relation to human medicine! My dad is a neurologist, so I sent a few items to him to see how much he knows about it.
