Me not editing wikipedia. Also, not in the lab. To find me not doing either of these things is very rare, but not quite notable enough for a wikipedia article

I am a Biology graduate from the University of Nottingham and am currently studying for my PhD in Plant Pathology. I work on the molecular basis of phytoplasma diseases, including how phytoplasmas cause phyllody.

Articles I plan (the best laid plans of mice and men) to work on include those in the areas of plant pathology, molecular biology, genetics, actors and whatever take my fancy. I used to work on Stargate SG-1 amd Stargate Atlantis articles but have now quit because I find wikipedia policies for fiction and use of copyrighted images to annoying.

Because taxonomists are often the bane of my life, I also create redirect pages for synonyms of species names. Hopefully this will help other clueless biologists like me.

I am not very good at spelling and grammar, and have user:lipwig proof read articles after I have made major edits to them. I always appreaciate people beta-reading my articles. My inability to spell does upset me, but nobody can be good at everything!

I will also probably trek around adding plot summaries to any books I have particularly enjoyed.

I try to do good article reviews on subjects I am reasonably familiar with such a tv episodes of shows I watch, books I have read, films I have seen and biology articles.

I'm happy to upload pictures I have taken and also those that constitute fair use and adding fair use rationales to screenshots as well. I get an odd enjoyment out of resizing images in Non-free Wikipedia file size reduction request.

Templates I use

(You know you're addicted to editing wikipedia when you accidentally start putting square brackets round half the words you type, even when your not on the website)
