Harkness Tower at Yale University
Kline Biology Tower at Yale University

In my defence, I am from a place where EVERYONE is a nerd: Yale University (see image at right). I began as a physics major and ended up in biology, though I love both equally. I graduated in 2005.

Not ready to leave Yale, I decided to stick around and work in the biology department while I apply to

flagella, specifically the process of intraflagellar transport
, which it discovered in 1993. I wish I were qualified to contribute to more areas of Wikipedia, but in my specialized knowledge of cell biology (and limited time), I tend to stick to the areas I know the most about (cilia, flagella, axonemes, etc.). Hence, I've sort of "adopted" a few articles in the cell biology section. Many of them contain a lot of disjointed "facts" about the subject, and I've been trying to synthesize them into readable articles.

But I may branch out soon, who knows?


soccer hero: Brian McBride

Besides science, my passion is

World Cup and retirement of my hero, veteran forward Brian McBride. I also wrote the article on Desmond Armstrong, a former player who later coached my little brother's team. A project I would like to try, if I ever get time, is to integrate Wikipedia's articles on the USA soccer players with information found at such websites as http://www.ussoccerplayers.com/ and http://www.soccerhall.org/index.htm
