I have been thinking kind of along the same lines. I work full time but I can carve out 5-8 hours a week to work on some research project and add value as a technologist. I would love to contribute especially to projects and folks working in the medical field trying to fight diseases, finding cure and advance genetic engineering to name a few.

I think a lot of people would love to contribute their free time and together that would mean thousands of hours of help into these projects which could mean that the goals could be achieved sooner. The problem is I don't know where to start and which projects would benefit from my 5-8 hours a week. This seems like the same problem I have with contributing towards open source projects.

I would love to talk more and see if there is a viable solution out there.

Hi There,

I have a zany idea, but you're profile is empty so I cannot contact you :(

Send me an email (in my profile), I could use your help - certainly in the medical field!

cheers
