Hello. My name is Wallace, I'm living in Argentina and I'm a fourth-year medical student who doesn't have many skeptical classmates to debate with. I found this place a while back, it seemed wonderful and I tried to create an account, but for some reason I kept getting a message saying that my IP was suspicious (I was literally connected to my college library's wifi), so I stayed as a lurker without an account until now I finally managed to register.
I really like how you guys openly discuss a wide variety of scientific topics and I find myself reading interesting topics even if they're not in my field of study. My favorite part is that everyone has to follow the rules of a real scientific debate, not use logical fallacies, and I've been amused by several of the "moderator notes".
In general, my country has scientifically oriented laws (women own their bodies here in every state, in case you want to compare it to America), but people are superstitious and some pseudosciences like psychoanalysis are still very popular. I would like to see some things change around here.
I am particularly interested in topics about genetics and immunology.
