Hi Pozmi

First I want to apologize for getting back to you so late. I was studying for our test! Now that I'm done I feel liberated for the next few weeks. But to answer your question I never edited Wikipedia entry before, but it should be interesting. I look forward to working with you. Jirwin1097 (talk) 22:52, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, I know how it is. Off to do mine now...--Pozmi (talk) 00:37, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wiki Group 7!

Hi Pinar,

Welcome to Wiki Group 7! I am sorry that you lost your other partner, but I am happy that to have you join James and me. As you already know, my name is Erin. However, many people simply call me Er. I work at Fox Chase Cancer Center in the Clinical Cytogenetics Lab. Molecular Biology is my first class towards my Masters in Biotechnology. While I will be completing this program completely online from Philadelphia, I plan to take at least one trip to Baltimore to visit the campus.

Here's to a fun and informative adventure together. Madscientist2007 (talk) 02:20, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, yes, I also intend on visiting the JHU campus! Plus, I've only ever been to California in the U.S. before so I'd like to see more of the country.

You mentioned Rosalind Franklin earlier who is one of my icons as a woman in science (another being Ada Lovelace). I love knitting, and one of the patterns I tried out was an illusion knit scarf of the DNA double helix. Lying flat it just looks like a striped scarf, but from an angle you can see that familiar pattern. It's fittingly named Rosalind. It's not the recognition she deserved during her lifetime, but I'm glad to see that slowly we have become more aware of her contributions. --Pozmi (talk) 21:30, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rosalind is definitely one of my icons as a woman in science. She certainly deserved more credit. Even James Watson began to come to his senses at the end of his book, The Double Helix. He admitted to finally realizing just how hard things can be for a woman in science. He also gave her a lot of credit for not only working, but working so hard, all the way until the end of her life even though she was ill. I would also have to add two other women to my icon list. The one is Marie Curie. The other, who is probably my favorite, is Rachel Carson. Her book, Silent Spring,did so much for the environmental movement. It is definitely a worthwhile read. If nothing else, you should at least read the prologue. It is so creatively constructed and paints such a vivid picture. The last part of the prologue is especially thought-provoking.
