User:Aibarr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aibarr used to be a structural forensics associate with a major failure analysis firm's branch office in Los Angeles, but she has recently decided that she's not paid enough to deal with intellectual abuse and decided to take a higher-paying, more rewarding job in her home state of Texas, designing hospitals and stadiums and other really awesome structures with a really fantastic firm at their Houston headquarters. She was formerly a civil engineering graduate student at the University of Illinois, her primary function there having been bemoaning the endless expanse of corn fields she'd managed to move to. Yes, she is — rather shockingly — a female engineer, but sorry guys, she's taken. In fact, she's got a ring and she's getting hitched.

Professionally and academically, Aibarr is a structural engineering associate with research interests in structural failure and seismic retrofit, being the only known expert in the very narrow field of consequence-based retrofit prioritization of Southern Illinois bridge networks. She has additionally written a fairly extensive and comprehensive field guide to weld discontinuities, though nobody actually uses it. Her interests include music in a wide range of genres, insulting thousands of college sports fans at a go, and helping drunken Brits find their lost chickens. You can hear her read the spoken version of macular degeneration.

Phoenicolacerta troodica
Phoenicolacerta troodica, commonly known as the Troodos lizard or the Troodos wall lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae. It is endemic to Cyprus, where it is common and widespread and its natural habitats are Mediterranean-type shrubland and rocky areas, in both rural and urban areas. Its length is up to 22 centimetres (8.7 inches), with males slightly larger than females. The species has a long tail, which can grow to more than twice its body length. This P. troodica lizard was photographed under the Elia Bridge in Limassol District, Cyprus.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
