Scientific AmeriKen made its first appearance on October 8th, 1996 with ground breaking discoveries in Mentos candy. Since then, over 100 experiments were performed in various sciences. Scientific AmeriKen continues to strive towards one purpose: Seek knowledge in the sciences. To delve into the unknown world of chemistry, physics, biology, and general science, in an effort to gather percentages, statistics, and general knowledge for the benefit of humankind

The goal for creator Ken Seldeen was to create an outlet to involve himself in his new career path of science while at the same time practicing and fine tuning web development skills. Nearly 15 years later the goals stay constant and further expanded with a PHD in biochemistry and molecular biology in 2009 and further development of his web programming skills (MOTLOOK-2006 / BioZipDB-2007).

As Scientific AmeriKen moves into the 20-tweens we can expect a further drive to bring more real laboratory science to the covers of this webzine. Scientific AmeriKen recently ended a postdoctoral position in biophysical chemistry to take up a new position in geriatric research. His current projects involve understanding the impact of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency on physical performance with many experiments observing potential impacts in mice.

So prepare for the next generation of Scientific AmeriKen Webzine!
