This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that he has been paid by PatientsLikeMe for some of his contributions to Wikipedia.
I am a neuropsychologist and Health 2.0 acolyte, formerly of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and now working for PatientsLikeMe. My areas of expertise are motor neurone disease, neuropsychology, parkinson's disease, and the use of the internet for the benefit of people with chronic health conditions.
I have written two brief scientific communications around Wikipedia. One with Vaughan about how wikipedia articles on specialist medical topics are often written in part and edited by experts (or at least, qualified people) in that field[1], and the second about the phenomenon of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge including use of Wikipedia page view statistics as a proxy of how the fad spurred interest in learning more about the disease[2].

| I just wanted to give a barnstar for being such a pleasure to work with. I'm been pretty critical of the Beck Depression Inventory article, but you've always been cheerful, and just get pecking away at making the article better. Kudos! Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 14:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC) |
