Me:

• Duncan K. Breland . . . Chemist, Woodworker, Chef, Baker, Tailor, Writer, Poet, Baritone, Webmaster, Dungeon Master, and Dishwasher.
• I most recently worked as a Research Associate II/Medicinal Chemist at GTx Inc.
• I have an MS in Chemistry from University of Memphis.
• I have a BS in ACS General Chemistry from Mississippi College.
• Before I could call myself a chemist (in good faith), I was an EMT-Basic. I saw a lot of stuff. I saw funny stuff. I saw sad stuff. I saw stuff that made me extremely angry. Note: I am now a chemist.
• I live in Memphis, TN.
• I am fascinated by scale.
