Hi all,
     After a Ph.D. in physics and a post-doc in biochemistry I've decided to
get out of data collection and into museum work (science and/or natural
history). I've checked out museum certification programs, but was told by
Georgetown that I really didn't need a certificate with my background. The
folks out at SF wanted to know why the heck the drastic shift. I replied and
I've never heard back. I am doing the traditional job search on the web. This
has resulted in several rejections and a very encouraging phone interview
(won't hear about the job for 1 month). What else can/should I do to work my
way into this great field? I have few museum connections, but I just know I
would excel in a science museum exhibit researcher/curator
(eventually)position. Any and all advice would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Steve Thomas
