Hi everyone,
We'd like to make IAmA better for everyone, but we need your help to do it. We're looking to conduct a series of interviews with users just like you. If you'd be up for a phone call with us to discuss your experiences here, new features, and help us come up with ideas, please fill out the survey below. There might even be a special flair in in for you.
To the IAmA community,
Truepic is a leading technology company focused on photo and video verification. We are proud of our ongoing partnership with Reddit AMA moderators. In addition to the information, FAQs, and articles on our website, we thought it would be a good idea to post a short synopsis on our free Truepic app for iOS and Android, which is sometimes used by AMA moderators to verify participants, particularly as it relates to privacy and security.
We created the free Truepic to empower people looking to disseminate visual truth in today’s world. You can use the free Truepic app to send a photo or video with verified pixel contents, date, time, and location (you can select no location, general location—e.g. city, or precise location—e.g. address) to anyone on the internet. As such, any time you share a Truepic image, you are by definition disclosing some information about yourself to Truepic, as well as the recipient. Truepic does not monetize, sell, or share photos and videos captured with the free Truepic app, or their associated metadata. However, anyone engaging in activities that risk the freedom, safety, or livelihood, of themselves or others, should assume that anything transmitted over the internet or stored on any mobile device is at risk of disclosure. Although you can use the free Truepic app with a reasonably high-level of anonymity, it is not a safe haven against malicious actors in high-threat environments. Please exercise good judgement and be careful.
Truepic is an independent venture-backed company, and is not owned by any government, internet conglomerate or parent corporation. Our technology is used by prominent international organizations like the UN Capital Development Fund and the Antiquities Coalition. We are proudly based in San Diego, California. Please see our website truepic.com for more information.

Hello Reddit! I’m Corene Matyas and am a tropical climatologist, hurricane expert and associate professor of geography at the University of Florida. My primary research involves the GIS-based analysis of rainfall from tropical cyclones, but I am also interested in other severe weather events and social and behavioral responses to natural hazards.
At a young age, I realized you cannot hide from severe weather events, so I vowed to learn everything I could about hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and other natural disasters. I wanted to be prepared when severe weather struck.
Throughout my education as a scientist, I maintained an interest in art and these two pursuits led me to my thesis work where I examined the shapes of “rainprints” produced when convective thunderstorms moved through the region around Phoenix, Arizona, during the monsoon season.
For my dissertation work, I investigated how best to quantify the shapes of tropical cyclone rain shields. Many physical mechanisms affect rain production in these storms, such as topography, interaction with middle latitude weather systems, and atmospheric moisture. My doctoral research laid the groundwork for attributing changes in the rain shield shapes to these physical mechanisms and explored a new set of methods for examining tropical cyclone rainfall patterns.
With funding from a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, I have two broad research goals: a) determine which environmental characteristics are key in the prediction of the spatial patterns of tropical cyclone rain fields, and b) measure tropical cyclone rain shield shapes during landfall using high-resolution radar data and tools for spatial analysis.
I mentor students who would like to examine severe weather events, atmospheric teleconnections, or rainfall, and who have GIS and/or remote sensing skills.
I’m here to answer your questions!
Here’s a bit more about me:
I received a Ph.D. in Physical Geography (Climatology) from Pennsylvania State University (2005), an MS in Physical Geography from Arizona State University (2001) and BS in Environmental Geoscience from Clarion University of Pennsylvania (1999).
My name is Tarik Allag.
I founded the popular travel website Secret Flying in 2014.

Both me and my company have been covered countless times by media outlets. A simple Google search will show you that.
Hey I'am Ben from Germany and last week I did an hair transplant in istanbul (turkey) for more than 11 hours, it was quite painful but it looks good (i think).
I was losing my hairs for like 10 years and now I did this big step. The operation took more than 11 hours.
This was the worst part of everything... 4 hours on the belly and more than 6 on my back. I received like 50 injections.. anesthetics, water, and blood plasma. At first they inject some anesthetics, then they injected water to raise the skin, and lastly some blood-plasma (to feed the hairs).
After the water injection they cutted the holes in the head for the news hairs like and then they used a drill to to and hole around the hairs at the back and a tweezer to remove them.
They collected like 4300 Grafts (Hair Roots with 1 or more hair folicles), all the time they injected new anesthetics because it needs to refreshed all the time and sadly I absorbed them really fast.
After they harvested the hairs, they planted them in the front, this took forever and was quite painful but I have a new front now :D
Finally they took some blood, to create Blood Plasma for the PRP Treatment, they injected my blood plasma under the skin to feed them and let them grow faster.
The staff was really nice and helpful but spoke no english at all :D

The majority of trucking jobs are local or regional but I get bored easily and choose jobs that have me crossing the continent on a regular basis. I've driven a big truck in all the lower 48 States except Maine and all Canadian Provinces from Quebec west. I haul the stuff you'd expect, food, household goods and I've hauled fuel tankers. https://i.imgur.com/p0l5FbA.jpg

Hey everyone!
Like the title says, I’m a former employee of Boston Market. I was a cashier/server and near the end of my employment, I was doing basic training to become a “cook.” I worked there for about a year while in high school, I resigned when I graduated
Basic duties: greeting customers, taking food orders face to face and drive thru, basic food prep and cooking, money handling and management, dealing with the crazy coupons, taking to go orders and preparing them, and obviously cleaning
I feel bored and I felt like doing an AMA session, don’t be shy! :)
