My background: I'm a graduate student in George Church's lab, which specializes in genomics and biotechnology.

Work area: /Draft

Opinions

Things I want

This is sort of a to-do list for myself, but others are welcome to do it for me!

needed pages / pages that need improvement

  • History of genetics -- timelines need to be expanded into prose
  • Human genetics -- this page is awful, it sorely needs someone to contribute information and put confusing pieces of information into context.

images I want

None for now.

Articles I've worked on

Some articles I've done major rewriting on:

  • Genetics - (5/27/07) at the moment the page is almost entirely content I added
(before - what the page was like before I started)

Articles I made:

  • PCR optimization - I made this because I wanted to move optimization trivia away from the main PCR article
  • Stop codon - Made this page to cover material about amber & ochre mutations and suppressors
  • Acacia drepanolobium - The whistling thorn acacia, created the article after reading a cover-story article about it and symbiotic ants in Science.

Images I've made

Some photos and SVG images I made with Inkscape... feel free to suggest other SVG images I could make!
