Hello. I'm working on CZ to extend medical knowlege outside of medical schools and universities. I believe that all educated people should understand the basic biology of the human body and know the signs of disease in themselves and their children. Helping to keep information on these subjects of the highest possible accuracy and the plainest possible language is my goal here.

I'm also enjoying myself - writing about my favorite subjects and collaborating with some very nice and bright people.

I am a member of the executive of Citizendium.
