It's all about life, science and music.
Dear Steemians,
it's time to introduce myself.
Lifesciencemusic, what will be on this blog?
As the name implies, it's about life, it's about science, and it's about music.
Time to get personal
My name is Mike and I'm from Germany.
Music is a big and important part of my life. I love being creative with music. I am a trained pianist and I also play some other instruments (guitar, drums, saxophone, accordion, bass). In addition, I think it's exciting to collect many different instruments. When composing, each instrument is inspiring in its own way. Every sound inspires very different ideas.
"Without music, life would be a mistake" (Friedrich Nietzsche)
Music is part of life and enriches it in a wonderful way. I want to post my own music on this blog that is inspired by a variety of influences.
Thinking about music also touches on the areas of philosophy, psychology, and biology.
These are other big interests of mine. And there we are in the middle of the science.
Science is everywhere
We live in a very exciting time that brings forth many ideas. It's fascinating to see how the number of scientific discoveries is increasing faster and faster.
The fascination of discovery drives us, the age-old human desire to understand things and look behind the scenes.
That brings great opportunities, but is also accompanied by a huge responsibility that we all have to bear.
I would like to engage in interesting scientific trends on this blog. I am currently particularly interested in the areas of Life Sciences and Artificial Intelligence.
I like to program in Python myself and have been studying machine learning and deep learning for some time now.
I believe that in the field of AI in particular, most people still do not realize at all what upheavals are coming to our society. Of course, there are many opinions about it, as well as much panic and many hopes that will be put on it. But what is fact and what are realistic perspectives? Likewise, I find it exciting what great new opportunities arise through discoveries in the field of life sciences and medicine. Just the whole field of "personalized medicine", according to which each person is individually considered has a immense potential.
Lifelong Learning
I summarize: music, biology, medicine, psychology, philosophy and computer science...
I do not know how many countless books I have read about it, have attended online seminars and always find it exciting and challenging to incorporate myself in new knowledge areas. And the more doors you open, the more doors open up behind them. Is that frustrating?
I don't think so. The concept of lifelong learning, of constantly rethinking, being flexible is also totally exciting. Basically you have to be so modest and say with Socrates "I know that I know nothing"
Hello Steemit - Hello World!

Welcome, @lifesciencemusic! I am always glad to see another life-long learner on the platform; it's not easy to remove the ego, such as Socrates does, when considering our own limitations in comprehension. But if we use optimal evidence to influence our own thoughts and subsequent actions, it means we can maintain the most accurate understanding of a given topic.
I am excited that you are interested in applications of AI in healthcare; it's certainly an industry that benefits from the analysis of huge amounts of data to better understand the human system, which can then be utilized to help a patent develop their own view of health and wellness. I have such a respect for technology and I am attempting to pivot my career from direct patient care to training my cohort in evidence-based practice, while relies on objective data that is unfortunately often hard to come by without recent technology.
As far as your original music, you mention a variety of influences. Will your music remain within a certain genre or do you create in several different (or combine?) I have always been challenged when it comes to visual arts (except dance, at least I think) but I love to consume music and enjoy learning valved brass to be able to mess around for some creative release and ska has been a fun forray after learning more classical and jazz styles.
See you around!
Hi, thank you very much for your kind comment. I think it's essential to be humble when it comes to knowledge and even scientific paradigms. I think the truth is always more complex than we try to describe in our scientific models. But that's the challenging part and in my opinion this can be fun as well. The most important thing is never to stop asking questions and never to stop to marvel.
Do you work in the field of health care? I think that's pretty exciting. When I read about things like IBM Watson Health, i think these systems will revolutionize the future of health care. I'm curious when these approaches will be put into practice as standards and what kind of obstacles will be in the way.
And yes, talking about music, I really love so many different influences. I'm classically trained and especially love the music of the romantic epoch (Chopin, Liszt, Schubert, Schumann). But I also listen to a broad variety of pop and rock music and movie scores. Especially by combining different genres and making a "cross-over"- styled music, very interesting things can emerge.
I do work in healthcare as a speech-language pathologist. Conditions like difficulty swallowing lead to many hospitalizations and I have hope that the large data Watson can analyze will continue to help us understand some more efficacious screening tools for identifying these issues before they lead to serious events like choking or pneumonia.
I mentioned ska as I am very firmly grounded in rock music family but I will vary from punk to funk, reggae to new wave and alternative. But I think I am truly most excited when I hear those successful cross overs and mash-ups of different styles and sounds...and then I have always loved old-school video game music but they can be a serious undertaking to cover.
That sounds pretty interesting. I also hope that Watson (or similar systems) will help to contribute to great breakthroughs in the medical field.
Interesting article, you're done! Welcome to Steemit, I wish you successful development. I followed you, I hope you will follow me.
